فيلم جيد!

The film takes place in 1956-1957 in Apalachia, NY. It centers on state trooper Edgar Croswell (David Arquette) and his efforts that lead to the arrest of a large number of mobsters (no convictions). The film was mildly interesting as a historical crime drama but it had little action and a small bite. Robert Davi played Vito Genovese who made the bad call. Go watch "The Irishman" instead. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

When seeing this movie I was hoping for a good or interesting movie. The era that this is filmed in, its a beautiful era, you have the beautiful cars and the mafia. The movie feels choppy, the story doesn't flow. The acting feels off and the whole story feels unrealistic. But I do love the cars and 50's scenery! Don't waste your time on this movie, there are better ones out there.

It's a very mehhhh... movie. Has a made for tv vibe Acting is mehh....Story line is mehh..... I wish I hadn't of started watching it. But once I start a movie I usually finish. It's a waist.

I have a question so if you did so much research, why put the correct dates but in the movie is the middle of the summer?? Come on really?? Ever visited NY in November?? Is practically winter!! Jesus christ at least be accurate.

There's no drama, tension or action in this. It's goofy without being funny. There's no reason given why a group of mobsters should be arrested. It's explained later on what they charged with but... ugh. Lots of nice cars in this film though.

This movie is bad enough on it's own. But arquette with his mugging and goofy delivery makes this film look like a high school film project. I felt I lost 90 minutes of my life watching this

I love real life mob movies, but Mob Town truly was a disappointment. Slow stupid definitely not worth watching

I have seen this movie multiple times. It keeps my attention at all times . I believe for a period movie on a tight budget the goal was accomplished . There are many funny moments which I felt brought the movie to life . All the actors did a great job! Great movie , extremely entertaining and informative. I highly recommend it!

This is not bad enough to get only a 4 star. This is nowhere good enough to be a 7 star. This is a 5 or 6 star. Yes, it's low budget, but the cinematography is better than many with this kind of budget. Yes, they "steal" footage from old documentaries, but the imagery and colors from those pop in a nice way. The dialogue is good enough; not stellar, but not hardly too rough or clunky. The acting is good enough. The plot is already known, since it's based on history. To me, the biggest weakness is the over-long personal scenes that don't matter, like the fish-monger scene with tinges of Poor-Man's Tarantino. The love story and the domestic marriage scenes are extraneous too; they let the air out of what little tension this movie otherwise has. This subject is tailor-made for a 20-30-million dollar project. This small project doesn't come close to exploiting that. Or even better -- a 3-episode limited series. Arquette isn't bad in it; it's hardly the worst perfomance of his career. Just don't go out of your way or pay any fees to watch this. It's not worth money to see.
