Movies

This film is a joke. Apparently stuffing a bunch of well dressed Italians around a dinner table and having them tell anecdotes and curse a lot was someone's idea of a good mafia movie. All this movie consists of is random arguments, occasional unrealistic violence, laughable acting, and a numbing level of foul talk. "This thing of ours" plays into every possible Italian mafia stereotype, and blatantly attempts to rip off good gangster films like "Goodfellas" and "The Godfather". I would rather watch "Pink Flamingos" again, than watch this failure again. Do not waste your time, life is too short, and this film is simply too bad.

Like the Kinks song "I'm on a low budget", you have to wonder what our stereotype talented mob actors were thinking when they consented to pool their combined efforts together to make this film. We have almost every mob actor who, if you pay attention to the script (without your eyes glazing over), replay many parts/lines from their mob movies.The plot is thin if not threadbare. I'm not sure why some of the other posters thought this was even an acceptable film. Trying to watch the entire thing, was painful. As DeNiro told his son in a Bronx Tale, "the saddest thing in life, is wasted talent" - that appears to be the motto of this movie.

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!//S
