With nods to Goodfellas, Street Kings and The Town, How To Rob is so much more than your average Crime movie. This is the story of two people forced to choose different life paths, putting their friendship to the test under the most daring circumstances.

Rated: 9/10

WBUR’s Arts & Culture

A familiar story of two stick-up guys from Quincy who knock over the wrong North End bookie, but beneath the Boston crime movie clichés is a surprising lyricism, building to an unexpectedly emotional conclusion.

“How To Rob” is ultimately a tragedy where characters who take short cuts to success end up discovering that the price they have to pay wasn’t worth it. It’s a taut debut that’s worth a look from a filmmaker who presumably has much more to say.

Rated: 3/5

The other remarkable thing about tyro helmer Horgan is his ability to take a small budget, cast believable characters at all levels and tell a story that keeps you interested from beginning to end.

Rated: B+

It is to Horgan and his actor/producer partners Uche and Koopman’s credit that both characters appear ten years older by the time their adventure ends days later…This gritty little indie deserves a look and word of mouth could lead to a cult following.

Rated: B

Decent flick with above average acting. It was good enough to hook me in and keep my interest. A little disappointed by the ending.

Telling all my friends that liked Boondock Saints to check this out, smaller scale but shreds in same vein of loyalty and brotherhood channels.

The reviews for this movie have obviously been hacked - don't know exactly how they do it, I suspect somehow they delete any bad critics reviews and if you look at the audience reviews they are all from new users - no audience reviewer has any history. So all fake audience reviews. Rotten Tomatoes really needs to crack down on this type of stuff

저는 세계 반대편에 살고 있지만 미국 영화를 많이 봤습니다. 이 영화는 10년 동안 본 영화 중에 가장 좋았습니다. 저는 한국에서도 보스턴의 경쾌함을 느낄 수 있었습니다. I have seen a lot of American movies even though I live on the other side of the world. This was the best one I have seen in a decade. I could feel the Boston grit all the way from Korea.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If you like Scorcese, this is an homage to him…….no morally depraved character is bad 100% of the time; like no seemingly good characters are 100% good all the time. AWESOME FLICK!
