Read MoreThe movie was a good directorial debut for Ben Affleck. The scenes and the characters were authentic and believable to the viewer. The ending was very interesting and made you think about whether doing the right thing is the best thing. Casey Affleck handled the role well as the main character. This movie is definitely a watcher. It is ashame Ben Affleck as not considered for any major director's awards. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This great thing about this movie is the absence of fluff. It gets down to the nitty gritty blue collor streets of boston with "real" people. Liked the movie, but it did get slow at points. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Although the vulgar language was over the top the story itself was great! I liked the alternate beginning better, sometime you wonder why they don't use one scene over another. Good flick! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreInteresting story about a young detective team that is hired to investigate the disappearance of a little girl in "their neighborhood." As the story unfolds, the pieces of the puzzle are not falling into place. Who really is the bad guy? There is good acting, but the script is heavy on four letter words. Overall, B+, a good moral tale, with a thought-provoking ending. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI hope this is the last film we see by Casey Affleck. This seems a clear case of an older brother aka Ben Affleck trying to help his little bro get into the business. Casey's attempts at an East Coast accent are laughable at best, and his character isn't in the least bit believable. As for the script itself, the plot was so predictable in spots and the characters cliche. Come on people! With a little more thought and attention to detail you could have given us characters with complex personalities who struggle with the moral and emotional ambiguities that are sine qua non to human experience.

Good, suspenseful story, but way too much foul language, violence, and underclass life to be enjoyable. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
