Glad you had a bit more fun with the film than I did! This movie is nothing more than background noise from where I'm sitting. Being a guy from Boston, I'm an easy judge of films that take place in the city I know so well but this was a generic and lazy effort on all fronts. No more free Dunkin for these two until they shape up. Great review, Justin!
Thanks for watching! It was nice seeing Boston and Fenway. I need to go back to Boston soon. Yeah, it was a pretty plain movie. Could have been so much better. Everything was there for them to have a solid film.
that's the problem with this movie. I forgot this group was from Boston and hence they try to make the movie more intellectual than they can handle. The main theme is pretty familiar. We have all seen heist movie but they add the whole political background to it. And for a while it works. But the problem with this movie is that it drags too much and takes too many turns that you lose interest. Just when one idea or plot angle was working or developing the movie takes a turn and then it keeps on making those turns unless you are frustrated and ask what's the point. You are trying to be too smart for your own good. Had they stuck with the original idea and worked with political angle in the background and worked to integrate the two at the climax this would have worked. But this just takes the audience for ride. literally. A ride which ends nowhere.
