I love this movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2010)

Im from Boston so some might say that is the only reason why i love this film but truly i think this is one of the greatest films i have ever seen. Being from Boston I can say that Martin Scorsese hit the nail on the head when it came to portraying Bostonians and especially the irish. All though this is a mob movie it does a great job of showing the attitude of the average police officer torwards certain people and situations. My father is a cop and i can say i have seen the problems and dilemmas that the police especially the Mass State Troopers go through and i thought this film incorporated it greatly. The cast fit perfectly with their characters and the on location sets really showed the beauty of our city and added to the authenticity of the story being told. I love this film and will recommend it to everyone i meet but living in Boston I already know that everyone has it on DVD right next to Mystic River and The BOONDOCK SAINTS. idk I guess its an irish thing but we like to watch our city on the big screen.
