Extraordinarily mediocre

Rating: 6/10 (3 February 2016)

There are a lot of great performances here but overall this movie is just so thoroughly mediocre that it's hard to justify watching it.
Deppis great. Bacon is great. Really everyone is, but it's just not that enjoyable to watch.
Sort've feels like if you took Goddfellas and took all the fun and style out of it. Not sure if that's a Boston thing, or a director thing, or a side effect of how movies are made today versus the way they were in the 90's, but overall, this felt a lot like a trip to the grocery store.
I think this movie had so much going for it but really didn't build any momentum at all. seemed more like a docu drama on TV?
performances were all great and on point. locations were good too, but yeah, for some reason this just didn't pull it together.
