most overrated movie i have ever seen

Rating: 4/10 (16 July 2007)

i was pretty hyped to see this movie when it first came out. the actors are top notch, the director is top notch, the locale of boston is top notch. how could it miss? ah, but alas it does... the story is so unbelievably stupid it makes me sad. nicholson is a major crime boss who befriends damon, a cop, without anyone knowing who lets him know all the "big time busts" going down on while an undercover cop, dicaprio, infiltrates his syndicate while being grilled by wahlberg and sheen. this sounds like a vehicle for van damme or seagal. all you need is some anti-environment oil drillers fighting some escaped prisoners and you have the complete stupidness of this "film" come full circle. i'll admit the acting is great but the story is so ridiculous it makes me want to throw up in terror. the terror of the popularity of this idiocy
