Very good until the end

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2006)

It was great acting by everyone involved until the ending. The ending was too incoherent and left too many unanswered questions for my tastes. I felt let down after expecting so much. My biggest problem was why Billy, knowing he has only one person left on the PD who knows what he's doing and also knowing he can't trust anyone else because of the mole, doesn't find Wahlberg before turning himself in. What did the girl getting pregnant have to do with anything? Why wasn't Damon more upset knowing that the girl heard the CD? What about the letter? Did she give it to Wahlberg? Every other person in the movie was a mole in either the PD or the mob including the mob boss. And when Billy mentions to Damon that the only other person he's talked to has been a police psych and Damon got a strange look on his face I thought that was going to lead to some discovery. Nothing. Too many threads that went nowhere. Good grief. Just try to sort out the cell phones. The more I think about it the less I like it.
