Tommy and Rosie are small time Queens crooks who decide they can get needed money by holding up Mafia social clubs on the theory that they can’t be reported to the police. In their dizzy spree, they seem to have no concern that the Mafia bosses won’t tolerate such activity and will have their own way of getting even.

The upstarts, as we might expect, are destined to be gunned down, as happened with the real mob robbers.

Thus the film takes on a sort of Bonnie and Clyde aura. The final execution is not as bullet-ridden as in the 1960s “Bonnie and Clyde” classic, but there are enough bullets to do the trick. And one can also feel sorry for the couple.

While the escapades last, the film is quite funny as the inept but nervy Tommy pulls the heists while his gal drives the getaway car. There is also humor in the way the amazed mobsters respond, not wanting to take the robbery seriously but having to deal with reality when Tommy shoots off the Uzi he barely can operate.

There is also the mob consternation when the robbers have acquired a vital list of the entire mob structure. The government gets into the act with its own agenda. Others in the cast include Andy Garcia as mobster Big Al, Ray Romano as a tabloid journalist and Cathy Moriarty as Tommy’s anguished mother.
