Rob the Mob

Rob the Mob is a 2014 American romantic crime film directed by Raymond De Felitta and written by Jonathan Fernandez. The film stars Michael Pitt, Nina Arianda, Andy García, Ray Romano, Aida Turturro, Frank Whaley, Michael Rispoli and Joseph R. Gannascoli, and is based on a true story. It was released on March 21, 2014.

In 1991, small-time crooks Tommy Uva and Rosie DeToma rob a florist on Valentine's Day. He is thereby imprisoned for 18 months.

Meanwhile, Rosie works at a debt collection agency run by ex-con Dave Lovell. Reformed, he hires mainly other ex-cons. Lovell gives Tommy a job, but he is restless.

Tommy grows enraged when seeing mafiosos in Queens, as he blames them for his father's untimely death. His flower shop was started with a mafia loan, so he was frequently beaten for late payments. Tommy's mother and brother still run it, but she blames Tommy's criminal activity for his death.

Skipping work, Tommy attends John Gotti's trial. Watching Sammy the Bull's testimony, he learns guns are prohibited in mafia social clubs. Casing one, Tommy proposes robbing it to Rosie. He sees little risk as no one is armed, and they would never call the cops. He gets an Uzi, which Rosie teaches him to load.

During the first robbery, Tommy shoots the Uzi wildly, eventually getting the mafiosos' jewelry and cash. He humiliates them by disheveling their hair and making them hump each other. As he leaves, he shoots up the walls, declaring, "This is for Frankie Uva!"

Rosie and Tommy are thrilled with their score, but have dangerously angered mafiosos. Sal consults with big boss Big Al Fiorello about how to respond. He insists they scare, rather than kill them, as Gotti's trial is already drawing heat.

Low on money, Tommy and Rosie rob another club. Now he humiliates them by making them strip to their underwear. FBI surveillance is stunned to hear gunfire, then watch Tommy fleeing the mostly unclothed mobsters. Agent Frank Hurd photographs several of the bewildered men. Telling New York Post columnist Jerry Cardozo, he reluctantly releases one of them to publish. Suddenly a front-page story, it deeply humiliates the mob.
