Boston Loves Ben

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2010)

This was a good movie. I am not a big Ben fan but with each movie I watch him in, and with each movie he does, he grows. He clearly owns this movie. He's hunky and tough and gritty , yet vulnerable and that makes his character strong.
It has the feel of 'The Departed' and being from Boston myself, the accents were perfect. Ben of course worked in all the Boston hot spots and it worked in this movie.
I really did find myself in his corner despite the fact that he was technically a 'bad guy'.
Although Jon Hamm wasn't great in this , the rest of the supporting cast was; along with great location shots, great acting and a truly great story add up to another fabulous Boston flick.
Good job Ben! Now we need another with you and Matt!
