Critics Consensus

Bolstered by a pair of likable leads and suffused in a warmly nostalgic glow, Rob the Mob is an uneven crime caper that mostly works.

Moira MacDonald

Seattle Times

It's a story so outlandish that it needs to be served by a combination of drama and comedy, and "Rob the Mob" finds that balance quite well.

Rated: 3/4

Newsday

As Tommy and Rosie, Pitt and Arianda are just the right kind of nuts, the right kind of dumb, the right kind of desperate and the right kind of in love to make it all go down like pie.

Rated: 3.5/4

Mick LaSalle

San Francisco Chronicle

De Felitta has a feel for this world and its atmosphere, from the clutter and casual ugliness of the streets, to the insularity of the mentality, to the unexpected sweetness and vulnerability of the people.

...a compelling setup that’s employed to watchable yet distressingly forgettable effect...

Rob the Mob is the story of two lovers who are clearly a few eggs short of a baker's dozen.

Here, the actors and their performances eloquently speak for Tommy and Rosie Uva.

Excellent, understated film, superbly played out by all, but especially the two leads. Don't be put off by the dumb, lazy title - it is more than worth a watch.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The sound track was a little much on the beginning but I WAS reflective of the time. I was drawn into this movie but two excellent leads. They were unbelievably naive and ill prepared for the capers they pulled off- and I fell into a sort of disbelief at how poorly they judged their situation. The movie moved along quickly enough for me. I like a nostalgic feel and it certainly gave that at the end.

A long boring movie that could have been a good one. It has a good start. IT would have helped a lot if the whole movie was speeded up by about 50%, and then trimmed by about 25%. It is really annoying when movies try to fill time even when they have nothing to say. There is nothing happening in any given scene, anything that happens takes its own sweet time, and it's not like the audience needs that time to understand what's happening. And no, it's not a slow burner - it just burns you slowly.

Started with a set-up that was solid, then it all went limp and ended with a whimper. #Moblife

A decent gangster flick with a couple that are two nobodies decide to rob the mob....loosely based on a true story.

Tommy & Nina, with their cool & classic looks, are the love bandits, targeting an elderly mob after casing a Gotti trial. Romano provides the scoop, while Garcia maintains with the old mafia bit.
