Mob Cops

I remember that The Wolf of Wall Street gained a reputation as the movie with the greatest number of F-Bombs per square inch in history. Until now. The only time I ever heard more F & C Bombs than in this hour and a half was a day back in 1982 when my dad was putting an IKEA Wardrobe together. This movie doesn't have a strong story, and every single character was deeply unpleasant. It wasn't entertaining, just 90 minutes exposure to an experience of lives that have no redeeming features. I'm not sure what the director was wanting to tell us. Anyone with an Italian name isn't very nice? Now, I'm losing the will to live, trying to write enough words to tell you to give the film a swerve. 2 stars for the fact that it ends.

Somehow I just didn't buy almost anything in Mob Cops, from the characters to the plot. And I love me a good mob movie, they're my favs in general. It's not surprising that movies high up in the charts are often not actually great, but still disappointing when it happens. I like David Arquette sometimes, but his choices in movies sometimes leave a lot to be desired, like in this case. A lot of the dialog felt amateur to me, too obvious and "easy", if that makes sense.. A lot of the cuts were fast, which isn't always a bad thing, but in this case contributed to it feeling forced and disconnected since the story and acting weren't at the level. It was mildly entertaining for a late night, I suppose, but I can't really recommend it.

First off , Arquette as a heavy ? Are you serious ? Continually squinting his eyes , even when he's indoors .The script is utterly tedious and the awful voice over ( courtesy of Abeckaser and his badly fitted teeth ) . Think Saturday Night Live doing a comedic version of Tommy Di Vito ( Joe Pesci ) times X . It really is that bad . This is on a par with the equally awful " The Many Saints of Newark " . Archetypal stereotypes who , on several occasions you expect members of the cast to burst out laughing as it all appears to be a big joke on us ! " I don't like cops , especially dirty ones " . Take the dog out instead.

To get the most out of this movie, you have to know what the entire premise is and who the actual mobsters were that were involved and which families they were from. It's harder to follow since they changed the names but this is exactly what happened. Gaspipe Casso, Joey Gallo, and they changed the name of both of the NYPD cops and the detective who led the investigation against them. Great mostly factual depiction of a classic mob story that has been discussed for years. In movies like these In less concerned about which actors are in it or what the budget was. I want a factual representation of what happened.

Cant really understand the 3.9 rating.. maybe its just because it only came out a minuet ago..but still wow.. with the garbage they put out these days im still suprised.. could it have been better, im sure, but i think its clear this wasnt block buster budget. The acting was accurate enough. I imagine most people haven't actually ever known any real life mob characters & despite only having movies to set their opinions by, think they know what its really like.. well im not saying this was the Godfather, but the acting wasnt too far off base, At All.. like i said in the description, its a movie about real life things that happened, & plays that way, like a solid docudrama/mob film about them.. i enjoyed it for what it was.
