SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Steineded How sad is this?

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

fuzzface-3 Nice to see the mob genre still alive, this piece of material represents the mid echelon (quality wise) of the "lesser known mob movies".Filled with typical mob movie actors such as Frank Vincent, and Vincent Pastore, complemented by James Caan, the movie starts of in a typical mob conversation around the table, which is well acted, filmed and directed. The ad lib acting makes it work. The story line is somewhat bold, yet true to facts, since the mafia is now known to operate through cyberspace, but the extend of this heist they're planning make it unrealistic for me. The overall acting has its ups and downs, several ad lib conversations are hilarious in character, and certainly reminiscent of the famous "what do you mean I'm funny" bit by Joe Pesci in Goodfellas", and other scenes and characters are severely overdone, or all out amateuristic and bad. All in all I had a fine time watching this movie, it's certainly worth at least one viewing, since it's certainly NOT the worst mafia movie out there.Not a must have DVD, but for completionists, such as me.

schools_out-22 This movie is a great Mob film. Most people say "No this movie is horrible, its not original" but that is why it is 21st century brilliance. Old school mobsters being persuaded to make billions of dollars in just 3 weeks by up-and-comers, its pretty good to me. And near the end when they kill-off all connections, thats original gangster action. Don't get me wrong it's great but not the greatest, it's different and that is what makes it great. I deeply recommend watching the movie. The actors in this movie are classic guys like some from the critically acclaimed HBO series "The Sopranos". The title "This Thing of Ours" is used throughout the movie to to prove my point. The old-school guys wonder what happened to "this thing of ours" and the new guys want to bring "this thing of ours" to the 21st century. This Thing of Ours is also the term used to describe the Mafia (the literal translation of Cosa Nostra.

rlange-3 I don't know where the negativity in comments is coming from. I don't remember a movie in which young, tech hip criminals are integrated with old line mobsters as a plot. The conflicts and tension resulting from this clash are numerous and nicely developed right up to the closing scene. ********* Spoiler Alert *********** The sit down meeting at which the deal is presented is terrific. Here a billion dollar computer heist is being presented and one of the old guys starts talking about his kid playing video games. Other major conflicts emerge as the "loose ends" are tied up later, and the final scene is terrific as well. All part of the clash in style and values.The weakest part of the movie is the FBI. The characters are way too stereotyped, not well acted, and poorly developed.This film a 1?? Everybody has their own tastes and preferences, but that sounds like somebody has an axe to grind.

pop2456 please spare me this was straight garbage did anyone listen to the soundtrack or notice bullet holes before the gun sounds only a straight groupie male or female could enjoy this crap i rather have my wife nagging at me all day then watch this again and the acting other than the familiar faces the rest of the cast was horrible did they just grab these guys form the street of Brooklyn Howard beach Pelham bay in DA Bronx or something don't waste your time watching this the 2 hours will be wasted and you cant get time back better off running errands or something than watching this fake mob movie that only mob wanna be's would appreciate
