Here I go again

Can you say "piss poor" in a review?
Here we have an infiltrator into a gang organisation on one side and the plant in the police department on the other.
Not a bad premise, but so ineptly put together that neither side could discover the villain without the help of audience.
Phony Boston accents, ham acting, very poor plot line and too much reliance on expletives. I usually like swearing in a movie but in this one it was just used to cover script deficiencies.
To say that it is a mediocre film is being too free with compliments.
Put up a few big names and you've got a hit right?
Wrong.
This was a bummer right from the getgo ; Nicholson mailed in his performance, Winstone completely miscast, DeCaprio OK and what'sisface Damon only marginally better.
The trouble with Mr Wahlberg is that you can't tell whether or not it's actually him, a cardboard cutout or a CGI. It doesn't really matter because none of the three do anything to improve the project.

Sheen was pathetic and his Boston accent was like a cinder caught under a door.(the other attempts at Boston accents weren't much better, only Matt Damon's was real .. and even though he grew up there it was exaggerated to match the other speech-coached "Siri" effect)
As for the plot, gimme a freakin' break will ya. If either side couldn't find the rat in the first five minutes, then neither the police nor the gangsters deserved to hold down their jobs.
A waste of time and money, you could make a better movie with your iphone
At least it's a new genre... crime mush
