This cast keeps the story grounded as each man is tested throughout the film. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

It all hangs together and the final shot rounds it off nicely enough. Read full review

IndieWire Christian Zilko

Aug 4, 2023

The attempts at spectacle never quite land, as Maggio’s ambitious car chase sequences and shootouts seem to stretch his resources and give the impression of a filmmaker biting off more than he can chew. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Aug 22, 2023

Maggio has cobbled together a modestly diverting, effectively atmospheric but blatantly derivative crime drama sprinkled with a few joltingly nasty plot twists. Read full review

Empire Jordan King

In the world of Mob Land, nothing good lasts. Disappointingly, despite the cast’s best efforts and a few striking visual flourishes, nothing good lasts in the film itself either. Read full review

John Travolta’s scenes are islands of tranquility in a jittery sea of rote crime-movie pyrotechnics. Read full review

IN A NUTSHELL:

A sheriff tries to keep the peace when a desperate family man violently robs an illegal pill mill with his brother-in-law, alerting an enforcer from the New Orleans mafia. The film was directed and written by Nicholas Maggio with the story written by Rob Healy. THINGS IIN A NUTSHELL:

A sheriff tries to keep the peace when a desperate family man violently robs an illegal pill mill with his brother-in-law, alerting an enforcer from the New Orleans mafia.

The film was directed and written by Nicholas Maggio with the story written by Rob Healy. THINGS I LIKED:

The presence of John Travolta in this movie is what will draw most people’s attention to it. As always, he does a fantastic job.
The other standout performances are by Stephen Dorff, Kevin Dillon, and Shiloh Fernandez. I just really wanted to see Shiloh get in a shower and shampoo his hair because he was so grungy, dirty, and sweaty during the entire movie.
There sure are a lot of “good ‘ole boy” characters. They’re all fleshed out really well.
The musical soundtrack is great.
The young actress who plays Shiloh Fernandez’s daughter is adorable.
Fun facts: Nicholas Maggio wrote the first draft in four days. They filmed the movie in only eleven days.
The original title for this movie was “American Metal.” Which do you like better?
Several people talk about the meaning of life and their purpose in the world.
I loved the shocking, ambiguous ending. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

The title “Mob Land” made me assume the movie would include the classic New York mobsters.
It’s very violent. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be completely bored.
Some profanity, including many F-bombs
Bloody violence with a variety of weapons, as well as with hand-to-hand combat
A man is addicted to pills.
We see a robbery.
Someone gets a terminal illness.
We see a lot of people get shot and killed brutally.… Expand
