Michael R I wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as I did but man, was it good! Ruffalo portrayed the South Boston hoodlums I know very well without going over the top. Hawke was excellent too. I liked this movie a lot. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Jeffrey P A ‘guy movie' through and through, a little overly drawn out early on with a few too many unnecessary scenes. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review little m What a wonderful acting especially mr Hawke Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review isla s This film has a good cast and a semi decent plot but it was just so depressing. There are many similar films, with similar plots and its not especially memorable, I'd say. Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke do alright, certainly not bad - their performances seemed pretty solid, just I didn't think it was any better than ok frankly. The action sequences aren't particularly great - not bad either. This is very much an ok film. I wouldn't go out of your way to see this as such, no. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Spoilers: Does anyone in Boston have nice parents, go to college, become a pharmacist, an accountant, a nurse, a newsman, whatever (tired of it's a gangster or a priest). How many of these hardscrabble streets of Southie, etc. movies? Whatever. Of course, choir practice doesn't make a movie script. The cast is good, the story tiresome. Amanda, a movie face of an angel, and can act. The Wahlbergs are always good, and creative -- Donnie helped write this. Ethan and Mark always deliver good performances. You get the idea there's more of them than us -- suburban white kid, 2 parents at home -- them from broken homes, broken lives, surviving on the street, mixed up with lowlifes from young. As they grow up, what could go wrong? Fightin to make a buck on the wrong side of the law. So, we're back in Boston. Pretty good writing, good production values, plenty of movies aren't this good, as the acting elevates it. What let Mark down? Bad habits surely. The economic system of consistent haves and have nots? Broken families? The broken American dream? But he finally wised up, put kids first and stayed sober and working. It was too late for Ethan, who just knew he was gonna knock over that armored truck, and got 50 years in prison instead. These two friends from boyhood tasted redemption or life in prison, though the one tried to talk the other out of the truck job, in vain.
