Was this much profanity necessary?

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2016)

I am sorry I am just now seeing this movie! I enjoyed all the twists and turns to it and thought the cast did a great job. Were so many F words and the C word absolutely necessary, though? I'm as desensitized to it as much as anyone, but just thought it was excessive. Still, it won't keep me from watching it again. This movie had a real gritty feeling to it, showing the ugliness of people. I loved seeing Amy Madigan and Ed Harris in the same movie (even though their paths don't cross). The ending will certainly make you ask yourself what would you do if you were in Casey Affleck's place. When this movie came out, I believe I remember hearing it was Ben Affleck's directorial debut, and I think for a first effort he did very well.
