TOMMY (Pitt) and ROSIE (Arianda) have two things in common: a crazy-passionate love for one another and—after they’re caught robbing a florist on Valentine’s Day—prison records. Trying to go straight, Rosie lands a job at a debt-collection agency and persuades Tommy to join her. But soon Tommy is skipping his shifts to do something much more interesting—attend the landmark trial of Gambino-family boss John Gotti where Mafia hit man Sammy “The Bull” Gravano provides graphic testimony that could finally bring him down.Tommy’s fascination with the mob is deeply personal; when he was a boy, he saw his father suffer a brutal beating beat at the hands of local gangsters. So when he hears Sammy name a Mafia-owned social club where no guns are permitted.They also draw the attention of the FBI and veteran mob reporter CARDOZO (Romano), who splashes their unlikely story across the front page of the paper. But while the attacks enrage the mob, Bonanno crime family head BIG AL (Garcia) orders his men only to scare the couple.
It’s a decision Big Al will come to regret. During one of their heists in New York City, 1991 Tommy and Rosie stumble upon a Mafia secret so closely guarded that rank-and-file mobsters don’t even know it exists. To the Feds, it’s the smoking gun they’ve been looking for—a key to finally dismantling New York’s already-faltering crime syndicate. To Big Al, it’s the high cost of his earlier leniency—a mistake he quickly moves to correct.
For Tommy and Rosie, caught between the law and a mob contract, the future all depends on who gets to them first. A film with great casting and the crazy couple (Tommy and his girlfriend) targets of the mafia and the FBI. The mafia guys were perfect, even with having to walk the fine line of being scary, yet likable and comical all at the same time. All these are chasing this couple for some type of list that they stole. However Andy Garcia reflects certain wisdom in his character but a strong temperament and this makes him to fail in his organization. As a film fan you will see some great acting and everyone looks appropriately casts.
Andy Garcia talked about his character: “This guy was covering for long time. I saw pictures of him and his fascination has gone and many pictures of him were away, lost and try to find him but his attorney took all his pictures especially for his wife. I guess this guy was struggling with his real life against he wishes more. This kind of work was disgusting for the story of this couple. My performance was the closest personality, acting each moment was tough sometimes but at the end was important to everybody that this kind of guy would have been behind the bars.”
