Editorial Review:
This mob picture comes with a high pedigree: Director co-writer and star Danny Provenzano (VAMPIRE VIXENS FROM VENUS) is a bit of a mobster in real life; he's pleaded guilty to racketeering and his great uncle is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. In his directorial debut Provenzano brings gritty authority to his tale of mobsters using computers for the ultimate heist. Looking to "earn his nut" with the organization Nick (Provenzano) and two buddies orchestrate a complex way of skimming money off of the top of global online bank transfers via the Internet. Unfortunately they need to raise $50000 to get it off the ground and so they turn to the old-school mafia guys for the cash in the process dragging them "kicking and screaming into the 21st century." Naturally once the billions start piling up betrayal greed and a lot of blood and gunfire follow. The film benefits from a nicely mixed cast of fresh-picked off-the-mean-streets newcomers and familiar mob movie faces like James Caan (GODFATHER) Vincent Pastore (SOPRANOS) Frank Vincent (GOODFELLAS) and comedian Pat Cooper (ANALYZE THIS). The tough-talk dialogue is diverting with nice use of Tarantino-esque pop culture references. Provenzano infuses the film with a perfectly seedy ambience.System Requirements:Running Time 100 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 824355516425 Manufacturer No: MAV-5164

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - HBO-grade quality, niche market of organized crime
This Thing of Ours (2003), from Danny Provenzano, is a film aimed at
the niche market of organized crime. It has an HBO-grade quality,
meaning a step above a TV movie, yet clearly below theatrical
quality.
What makes this picture interesting is first and foremost, the fact
that it takes viewers for a ride in another time and space, and
makes them forget about themselves, which is an essential quality of
good entertainment.
Secondly, there's ... Read More
Rating:  - 0 stars wasn't an option so I had to give it one star
This movie sucked major @**! I hated it. It's the worst mob movie EVER!!! Don't waste your hard earned dollars buying this film.
Rating:  - A great little film
"This thing of ours" is a great little film...Sure,the plot isn't the most clever or intricate that was ever devised,but so what?The actors,mostly playing mafia hoodlums ,are all stand out...And the film depends on thier interpretive skills rather than any unique plot or expensive special effects...Pat cooper,a noted ethnic comic,and James Caan,who played Sonny Corleone in the original Godfather make cameo appearenmces,but it is Frank Vincent,Vincent Pastore,and Danny Provenzano,among other less well known ...

Rating: - Couldn't watch it
This dvd FORCES you to watch advertisements when you put the disk in. It disables your Menu and Skip buttons. This is a really poor way to treat someone who just shelled out money for your movie.
Rating: - Save yourself the pain!
Wow, something smells really bad- oh yeah- it's this movie.
Slick box design and James Caan (why oh why did he involve himself in this?? Is he that in need of the $$??)
Other than these two selling points this has to rate as one of the worst vanity projects in the history of cinema.
The producer made himself the star even though he can't act. His two sidekicks are good actors. Big mistake- he should've cast bad actors to work near him so he wouldn't look as bad as he ... Read More
