Mob Land Better Now

In some depictions, Mob Land is a dark, gritty world with a sense of decay and neglect. The streets are often lined with crumbling buildings, and the air is thick with the smell of smoke, grease, and corruption. In other depictions, Mob Land is a more glamorous world, with lavish lifestyles and excesses on display.

RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) changed the geography of Mob Land. The 1985 Commission Trial sent the bosses of all Five Families to prison. Suddenly, the "land" became fractured. The rise of informants (Sammy "The Bull" Gravano) turned the paranoid world inside out. By the year 2000, the traditional "Mob Land" of Little Italy was a tourist trap. The real mob had either gone white-collar or underground.

The History and Evolution of Mob Land

MOBLAND

Enter Sheriff Trey (John Travolta), the aging lawman with a bad back and a heavy conscience. Travolta, submerged under a gray beard and world-weary eyes, acts as the conscience of the film. Mob Land becomes a three-way standoff: The desperate family man, the implacable hired killer, and the dying breed of small-town justice.
