In this dark comedy, a group of retirees wants to save their homes -- but they're not typical senior citizens trying to make the most of their Social Security checks. Four aging former mobsters -- Joey "Bats" Pistella (
Burt Reynolds), Bobby Bartellemeo (
Richard Dreyfuss), Mike the Brick (
Dan Hedaya), and Tony "The Mouth" Donato (
Seymour Cassel) -- live in the same rundown Miami apartment complex, the Raj Mahal. New owners hope to clear out the current tenants and replace them with a younger, more lucrative clientele. But the veteran gangsters don't want to move, so to scrape up the extra rent money, they take a job executing the father of a Miami mob boss. They happen to know he's already dead, so all they have to do is make it look like they did the hit. Their problems start when loudmouthed ladies' man Tony tells too much to Ferris (
Jennifer Tilly), a stripper, and soon she's talked him into murdering her mother (
Lainie Kazan) in exchange for her silence. The Crew also features
Carrie-Anne Moss as a detective and
Jeremy Piven as a mob kingpin out to avenge his father's death. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
