Possibly a good film hiding in there

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2017)

I think there's probably a decent action film buried in this really long and ponderous film. As it is, you get some great sequences like an armored car robbery/car chase, but you have to sit through the endless set up of the Charlestown locale, an incredibly implausible relationship drama and a dozen speeches about how Affleck is going to change. Somehow the film never manages to find the time during it's two hour run time to explain how Affleck could plan and execute a robbery of Fenway Park while under constant FBI surveillance.
