This Thing of Ours

This Mafia was the worst that I have seen so far. I am disappointed because there were some great character actors, who should have done a better job. The lead/director was terrible. Not only was he a bad actor, but there was no character development to even vaguely have the viewer symphatize with any of the major or minor characters. If this was a parody of Mafia films, I would understand why the film sucked. Get a day job, and don't do anymore Indi films. What I don't understand is why Frank Vicente and the other bigger names decided to sully their repuations by taking part in this film. And, I don't understand the terrible anecdotes that were parlayed during the various meal scenes. It was horrific. I kept hoping that "Tony Soprano" or Ray Liotto or any other character from Goodfellas or Casino appeared in the film. It was painful to watch. Thank God for fast forwarding.

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.

My girlfriend and I laughed heartily throughout the movie, however this is not supposed to be a comedy.

If you want a movie to watch and laugh at its terribleness, then this is it. While there are some good actors here, they seem like they are improvising all their scenes. Like its all some type of goof to them.

The no-name actors are the true comedic gems here. Particularly bad is the FBI lead agent. His acting was so bad it made me want to crawl into a hole.

If you want to see a truly terrible movie, see this. If you bring your sense of humor, you just may enjoy yourself.

Pretty good talented cast members from many mob movies who seemed to walk through the script. Bad filming and horrible choice of music.

I saw Caan, Pastore and Vincent...and the trailer...and I thought, hey why not give it a chance? So I ordered it on DVD from the US.

I saw it last night, and man what a big disappointment...OK, I know it's a low budget movie - but it's just terrible. I've seen other low budget movies on the mob that are far better. (give "Witness to the Mob" a chance)

This movie tries to ripoff of the BIG greater mafia movies like Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco etc. without getting close... Some scenes are just so "embarrassing" that you don't know if you should laugh or cry. over 5 on IMDb? G's...this movie dosen't deserve anything better then a 3.

Don't buy it, don't rent it...just Forgetaboutit!
