Critic Reviews

Megan Lehmann

It's not surprising that This Thing of Ours -- the title refers to the literal translation of La Cosa Nostra -- rings with authenticity and solid acting. Read full review

Allison Benedikt

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. Read full review

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
