Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Bigtomfosheezy420 I discovered this flick at my local video store one day and thought, "What the heck, why not?". Only problem is that I fell deeply in love with this quirky masterpiece and every time I convinced my friends to watch it the video store had its only copy rented out.Anybody who appreciates complex characters in the mob world will enjoy its fusion of scatty pop piano and healthy dialog. Terrific ensemble cast that mesh well together. Pointy is the HNIC but Dink is the real brains behind the operation. Be sure to catch the sly knock against Sugar Bear's name on the way to meet Hot Sauce.Nice whack job on Pointy by the way. The Italians knew that Dink was smart enough not to clip somebody over "nickel and dime" stuff. It just goes to show that there is still some sense of right and wrong in the mob world. That goes double for Dink letting Fire Escape guy live.Bein' "beefless" is priceless! Not much more I can say about this film because all of you have already expressed just how awesome this movie is.Just for the record, I thought the "Can't take the bitch outta the ghetto" line was frickin' cheesy. I much prefer the line, "Thou shalt not be a blaspheming bitch.".

mattymatt4ever The cast is great, there are some very funny scenes and altogether I found the film to be fairly entertaining. But nothing intrigued me about it. It's about a group of thugs who are at war with a thief and the rest of his cronies. This seems like another crime caper/comedy that tried to draw inspiration from "Pulp Fiction" and failed miserably. Of course, this is much lighter than "PF" with less (though a good deal of) profanity and less violence. But it tries to be identical with its dark humor and quirky characters. Every actor (especially Alec Baldwin and Andre Braugher) deserves a much better script than this mediocre, forgettable fluff. If you catch it on cable, it might be worth a look, but don't go searching for it. My score: 5 (out of 10)

mcfine I rented this movie just cause I couldn't find anything better and I noticed some fairly big actors in the movie. I was expecting the usual mildly entertaining made for TV movie but boy was I pleasantly surprised! This movie is just too freaking funny.The film is a dark type of comedy. Witty like the Tarantino and Guy Ritchie but done with a very mellow jazzy style. I loved just about all the characters in the movie. Michael Jai White's character had me rolling. A thug on a "renaissance tip" trying way too hard to mask his ghetto side. Baldwin plays a professional thief with a dark side but an affectionate love for his old dog. Sugar Bear and the rest were all equally funny.I watched this movie 3 times on the same rental and a couple more times after that. Great stuff. All my friends that I recommended it to all love it and we find ourselves making jokes with some of the lines in the movie. I am glad the movie wasn't hyped or "hollywoodized" cause the low key tone of the movie fits the quiet release.

zadisan I have seen this film just by chance, and I have enjoyed it a lot. Alec Baldwin and Rebecca De Mornay are just fine, but without any doubt, it is Michael Jai White the spice of Thick as Thieves. Besides, Andre Braugher is superb too. The story? Nothing new, an old plot we all have seen many times before, but you should give this film an opportunity.
