What to Know

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 Apr 10, 2014 Full Review John Anderson 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 Apr 3, 2014 Full Review 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. Rated: 3/4 Apr 3, 2014 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a compelling setup that’s employed to watchable yet distressingly forgettable effect... Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin Rob the Mob is the story of two lovers who are clearly a few eggs short of a baker's dozen. Rated: C Jul 21, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Here, the actors and their performances eloquently speak for Tommy and Rosie Uva. Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

J B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Phani T 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Started with a set-up that was solid, then it all went limp and ended with a whimper. #Moblife Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Jelisije J A decent gangster flick with a couple that are two nobodies decide to rob the mob....loosely based on a true story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Bunk M 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Ballsy, crazy, dumb, delusional Tommy and Rosie are wonderully played by Pitt and Arianda. But best of all, this was not based in the fanciful notion of some writer but real petty criminals who thwarted the mafia for some time. The film points up the flaws of a legal system that has to ensure state's evidence is gained a certain way to a certain degree in order to convict, but while the cops work to do so, the mafia continues its insidious crimes. Tommy and Rosie are allowed to stay alive just out of random circumstances and the general incompetence of the mob. It's an off the beaten path love story that convicts the bad guys while ending the lives of two petty criminals who are treated by the cops with equal distain to that of the bigger fish. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
