Whoa! Gotta see this one ...

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2007)

I was amazed and became quite involved in this well-directed and innovative film. Casey Affleck was outstanding, and Morgan Freeman, Amy Madigan and Ed Harris were on point.
This has to be the best film of 2007 --- not typical glam but a gutsy and provocative storyline that grips and makes you think. Boston locations are perfect and the movie does show that there is heart and soul in even the most difficult life situations. Cudos to Ben Affleck for writing and directing a movie that has its own sense of being and for bringing this movie to the screen.
Ben Affleck pulled no punches in breathing life into this film; Casey Affleck brought it home with a stunning performance.
