Horrible

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2015)

This was just not a good movie, it should be free, not for purchase on demand. Screenplay was written terribly, and the directing or editing was bad. It was sort of a bad joke. Not worth repeating.
There were time warp issues where things didn't fall into play correctly. It seems like they got finished filming and decided there were too many big names to just scrap it and pretend it didn't happen.
The most disappointing was Jack Nicholson and Martin Scorsese were involved and they couldn't even save it. It might have been Jacks' most uninspired acting job of his career, but I think the screenplay was so poorly written as though to dumb it down as much as possible so that the audience would realize how unsophisticated the Boston Irish really are.
DeCaprio and Damon were equally bad and Alex Baldwin and Marky Mark were just behind them. The characters were bad, and the attempt to have us understand them was missing except for the vulgar language. I swear, Scorsese must have a deep hatred of Boston and the Irish to portray them so badly.
What was good? the shootings and violence were pretty good.
I think the script caused this all, it was so bad the top actors and directors couldn't save it. I'm really surprised it made it out. I'm more surprised it is rated so highly online, but now i understand why it took me almost ten years to see it.
