Kudos for the Affleck siblings on their way to the Oscars.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2007)

Kudos for the Affleck siblings on their way to the Oscars. Great film, great direction, and a once in a lifetime character for Casey, an angel face iron man in the middle of trash. Is loneliness the natural consequence of strong ethics? Another thoughtful story by Dennis Lehane.It is the right combination of an interesting plot full of twists and a theme that arouses lots of debating ideas about how difficult it is to choose between law and feelings. Besides the story the film is enriched by spectacular performances by all the members of the cast, Morgan Freeman, that beloved couple of Ed Harris and Amy Madigan, and Amy Ryan, almost a newcomer for me. Ben Affleck provided the picture with force and truth, not a minute is empty of action or ideas and he shows too a deep knowledge of the locations, a very important part of this wonderful film.
