Irish copy (dad)

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 2017)

This movie is similar to Pacino's movie Donnie Brasco but for one time we leave the NYC and Italian underworld for the Irish and Boston! Thus having Damon playing in it is interesting as he deepens his local ties from Will Hunting and in a way, his meeting with DiCaprio is the new generation confrontation of Pacino / De Niro. However, the pleasure doesn't go farther as this movie is just totally unbelievable: the new thug becomes close to the criminal boss and nobody thinks he is the police rat, the policeman grows up with the criminal boss and nobody thinks he is the criminal rat. With that, the movie just take fun to tell the most bad words and to show the most blood... All the characters are pathetic, badly played by the ordinary big names who does their same show over and over (Baldwin, Wahlberg, Nicholson who has absolutely no charisma as the boss!). The scenes with the shrink are totally useless and just add minutes to get a long movie! Sure many would praise it as it's a Scorcese but frankly, i won't watch it again while DB is much more engaging!
