Very good and interesting, Both Afflecks proved their worth

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2007)

I wanted to see this movie as it was getting very good reviews and they were right. This is a very good and interesting movie with both Ben and Casey Affleck doing a very good job. I have to say I was put off by all of the profanity. I wish that Hollywood didn't always believe that people ( even those on the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder) go around talking like that all of the time. And if the people of Boston talk like that all of the time I'm glad I don't live there.
The plot was exceptional and the cast was great. Of course the veteran actors Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Amy Madigan did their usual great job and they had so much great material to work with. But the not so famous also were right on key.
There was also exceptional writing which has been missing in Hollywood of late. I am usually good at guessing what will happen next but they got me a little at the end. This movie is thought-provoking and my husband an I talked about it for a long time after it was over. This is an Oscar worthy piece that everyone should see. 9/10
