Rob the Mob
Director: Raymond De Felitta
Actors: Michael Pitt, Nina Arianda, Andy Garcia
PlotTommy and Rosie are a young, reckless couple living in New York City, struggling to make ends meet. Tommy, an ex-convict who's unable to find steady work due to his criminal record, stumbles upon an opportunity for easy money. He becomes fascinated by the Mafia after learning about the trial of mob boss John Gotti and convinces Rosie to join him on a wild scheme. Inspired by courtroom testimonies, the couple begins robbing mob social clubs, unmasking themselves as they burst in with guns blazing and wearing masks when they make their escape. Their robberies escalate in both frequency and risk, drawing media attention and becoming an embarrassment for the Mafia.
As Tommy and Rosie gain confidence, their daring heists catch the eye of seasoned crime reporter Jerry Cardozo, who becomes intrigued by their story. Meanwhile, crime boss Big Al is infuriated by the audacity of the couple's actions, as the robberies threaten to undermine the very fabric of Mafia operations. The FBI also takes notice since the pair inadvertently dig up valuable intel during their heists. As law enforcement and mafia members close in, Tommy and Rosie find themselves caught in a high-stakes game where the lines between hunter and prey blur, and the cost of their bold venture becomes increasingly high.
