    The younger Provenzano, while under indictment for racketeering and tax evasion, made his contribution to our mob lesson by writing, directing and starring in This Thing of Ours, another installment in the long line of bada-bings and fuggetabouits.

    A decently crafted, standard Mafia blood bath with a few new wrinkles and an aura of authenticity.

    Other reviewers found the film derivative in its plot and action. Perhaps, but some of what we were given referred to the kinds of action in real life that GOODFELLAS and other mob films were also imitating. What makes the film special is the talk--a marvelous scene around a table in which a typical oral tale gets sideswiped by someone correcting a film quote ("We need a bigger boat") and the other scenes in which these guys interact. The action in the film made it marketable, but what made it valuable is the talk and humor and interplay among the people. Some of the ensemble acting is remarkable. This is a very good film.… Expand
