Allison Benedikt Chicago Tribune The whole operation loses its tension, allowing the story to drift into amusing but familiar territory. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 20, 2003 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times None of this is overly interesting, thanks to murky plotting and the fact that there's nothing involving about these bad guys. Rated: 2/5 Jul 25, 2003 Full Review Megan Lehmann New York Post Rings with authenticity and solid acting. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 21, 2003 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 6, 2005 Full Review Brad Slager Film Threat As a modern mob fable there is plenty to impress, as Provenzano's documented legal troubles bring validation to the story and the appearances of Pastore and Vincent bring credibility to the screen.

Audience Member If you enjoy the well weathered cliches of mob dialogue then you will enjoy the ball busting that transpires in seemingly every scene in this piece of film.... in my reality however, it's old, tired and I've been there done that plenty..... The real challenge in this genre has to be to avoid the easy schtick mob humor and get down to interesting behavior..... this film falls for the old gimmicks and offers nothing of authentic novelty. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member What a waste af a good idea and turn it bad with some mediocre actors and unusefull scenes. I suffered during the 95% of the movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a great movie but I loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Danny Provenzano brings crime dramas down low with This Thing of Ours. While the concept is fitting for a mob story, in which this film is told, the execution is poor. For 95 minutes of screen time, the plot details lack depth and the characters constantly deliver lines of dialogue, meant to be witty, but come across as cheesy. Ultimately, this picture is as bland as its production value. The constant cursing is for a mature audience, as is the violence, which is backed by cheap sound and blood effects. Ultimately, there is more than enough profanity, but not enough bloodshed. There are some familiar faces in the crowd, although the question is why. Frank Vincent is okay. James Caan is an absolute waste. Louis Vanaria, Christian Maelen, and Danny Provenzano take the leads in unsatisfactory fashion. This Thing of Ours has very little to showcase and is therefore a film to be clipped. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the very few films that portrays the living of modern day mafia members (the younger ones though). This is the real thing, something you just have to see to adjust our outdated Godfather or GoodFellas bifocals.
