In the vein of True Romance, Rob the Mob chronicles the lives of a real-life Bonnie and Clyde who made the bold move to rob and humiliate some of New York City's most powerful mobsters. Fresh from prison for a small-time crime, reunited lovers, Thomas (Michael Pitt) and Rosie (Nina Arianda), find themselves in need of cash. After hearing testimony from John Gotti's high-profile trial that mob social clubs are gun-free, Thomas and Rosie brazenly rob these underground spots operated by the major crime families in the city. Unwittingly, they come across something much more valuable than money: a list of every mobster in the families. Now the feds, family members, and rival mobsters are on the hunt for the most notorious lovers since Romeo and Juliet. (Matchbox Films)

More than anything else, this film is interesting because it tells about real events that occurred. However, its storytelling style is rather dull, and instead of being properly gritty, we have to rely on Andy Garcia, who with his charisma is the only one who somewhat saves it. It’s not enough for a drama based on a true story.
