In broad strokes, Rob the Mob tells an intriguing tale, but its emphasis seems to fall on the wrong details.

Arianda is warm and sharp and a paragon of clich avoidance.

| Apr 4, 2014

The movie is full of quirky, usually worthwhile digressions (Andy Garcia has an expansive part as a mob boss) that add to its offbeat tone, further abetted by interesting musical choices and a very nice score by Stephan Endelman.

Full Review | Apr 4, 2014

As Tommy and Rosie, Pitt and Arianda are just the right kind of nuts, the right kind of dumb, the right kind of desperate and the right kind of in love to make it all go down like pie.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 3, 2014

De Felitta has a feel for this world and its atmosphere, from the clutter and casual ugliness of the streets, to the insularity of the mentality, to the unexpected sweetness and vulnerability of the people.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 3, 2014

The whole of 'Rob the Mob' fits [director Raymond] De Fellita's sensibility, which is big and warm and welcoming.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2014

...a highly entertaining film up until about the last 15 minutes when it loses all its pace and slows down to a plodathon...that almost completely destroys what came before.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 27, 2014

"Rob the Mob" skims over the lifted-from-the-headlines exploits of an outlaw couple and gleans a humanist drama steeped in sentimentality.

| Mar 27, 2014

The problem here is that the film wavers between free-flowing comedic chaos and melodramatic poignancy -- it's much more successful with the former.

| Original Score: 5.9/10 | Mar 27, 2014
