fuzzface-3 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.

schools_out-22 This movie is a great Mob film. Most people say "No this movie is horrible, its not original" but that is why it is 21st century brilliance. Old school mobsters being persuaded to make billions of dollars in just 3 weeks by up-and-comers, its pretty good to me. And near the end when they kill-off all connections, thats original gangster action. Don't get me wrong it's great but not the greatest, it's different and that is what makes it great. I deeply recommend watching the movie. The actors in this movie are classic guys like some from the critically acclaimed HBO series "The Sopranos". The title "This Thing of Ours" is used throughout the movie to to prove my point. The old-school guys wonder what happened to "this thing of ours" and the new guys want to bring "this thing of ours" to the 21st century. This Thing of Ours is also the term used to describe the Mafia (the literal translation of Cosa Nostra.

Purgatory This movie is total trash and was directed by a criminal who's is currently serving time as I write this. The idea of the plot, at root, is brilliant and had potential before this fraud of a director and "writer" totally slaughtered their attempt at what could have become a decent movie if fallen into the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. I learned from a credible source that this was a stolen story line.For the large majority, the acting was great, but the casting was overly ambitious, and quite a few parts were out of their appropriate places. This was a failed attempt for the release of a movie that deserved a better sceenplay, casting, and director. From what I personally noticed, it is obvious that the director is someone who's morale is extremely corrupted, distorted, and detached from any integral character, as one can determine from the ending of the movie. I recommend refraining from financially supporting the revenue of this movie by watching it, as the money will be going into the hands of someone who will use it to commit or support heinous crimes. How unfortunate.

Sandro Sannelli 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
