When her husband is killed for having an affair with the mistress of mob boss Tony "The Tiger" Russo, Angela and her son depart for New York City to make a fresh start.

The rather sudden death, in the bathtub, of her mafiosi husband "Frank" (Alec Baldwin) gives his widow "Angela" (Michelle Pfeiffer) the chance to break free from his criminal world and live her own life.

"Married to the Mob" is a very entertaining film and the mob element does have shades of "Midnight Run" (1988), especially when Angela - she believes she has finally found the normality she has been so desperately seeking with a man called Mike Smith - discovers he is actually an FBI agent and she then becomes reluctantly entangled in an FBI sting operation to arrest crime boss Tony "The Tiger" Russo. The depiction of the mob throughout this film is a ruthless and uncompromising one and it is common knowledge that there is nothing glamorous in the life these well dressed criminals have chosen to lead. It is admittedly a seductive life of extravagant rewards and it can provide an over abundance of indulgent luxuries, but this fool's paradise is fleeting and dangerously illusory....
