Pretty Bad

Rating: 3/10 (14 November 2006)

This was a pretty bad movie in my opinion. It went on for about an hour to long and was very violent. A lot of violence is not always a bad thing but when it is too serious, I think it can screw things up, and it did. The language choices, while very eloquent, were, not offensive, but offputting - although this may accurately portray life in Boston, I don't know. I was having doubts when I walked in, due to the presence of two of my least favourite actors - Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon - and I was right to be worried, they were pretty bad. I gave this movie a 3 because Jack Nicholson and especially Mark Wahlberg were very good, the psychiatrist love interest was quite good, and they played Comfortably Numb in one scene.
