Frank M B @RT56131965 Jun 21 Another social experiment from Hollywood intended to sanction interracial activities with no meaningful purpose beyond the silly script.

See more Whit R @RT32958580 03/27/2023 For all the rave reviews I must have to go back and examine what I missed. To me the pacing of the film was slow and a bit jerky at times. Repetitive scenes where they show up at the bar various times and repeat the same lines "Hey how about a free drink?", again sigh. And not leading to much pay off. It keeps taking us back to the opening scene of Sean fleeing the anonymous bullies running in to Jimmy's bat to the point I'm feeling like I'm being smacked with it. It must of been Indie budget as the Boston/Quincy sleazy underside is populated with about 2 or 4 characters appearing over and over. Cory and his mom with a over done accent needing smoke, geez. At least in The Town we had more reinforcements all around our protagonists. At times is just seems like Sean and Jimmy are kind of drifting around, pointlessly waiting for another job? With the "we're doing this to be better" is a clunky montage of mowing yards??? It was done so strangely the first time I had no idea it was supposed be them then. The Big Dream is landscaping? maybe less trite that opening a bar in Boston, yike. Still halfway through you can only know that one or both of them are going to end up dead, pretty obvious. Dangling the "I'm coming to Chicago" dream junk is like flashing subtitles saying "This guy is NEVER making it there folks!". fwiw everyone already knows the two friends from back in the day now doing crime will never work out so we don't need another lesson on that moral. Jimmy flashing back to the pedo he kills like it haunts him is so off, compared to young Jimmy ready bash some kids head in with a bat. Really? Plot gap alert, the idea that somehow a Pizza guy could be connected to their hit on those Soprano retread killer's, uh no. Who would report that? Why would the cops ever care? or why would any detective know that Tina was gone? Like why? Makes zero sense, just randomly made to raise tension. Again the ending was predictable from way back, someone dies and/or someone gets busted. Some of both, just a had fake for a minute with a dream sequence. Sorry it just did not flow for me. See more Bell Family @RT09712491 03/13/2023 Superb acting! Great story that left us discussing the end well after curtain dropped. See more Art D @RT07715728 03/06/2023 I loved this movie. The plot, dialogue, characters were all very authentic. The loyalty of the two leads made you root for the ruthless. Antiheroes that we cared about. Great flick! See more Read all reviews
