and in the minority but i hated the shit. maybe it's cuz i was going in expecting straight up mobster goodness a la goodfellas, but the whole parody aspect was just lame to me throughout. and the ending made it even worse.

i think i'm just mad cuz i keep thinking about the film this could have been, which isn't really fair, but considering the resources marty had available to him, i just don't get why he went in this directon.

for example, i think mystic river is a way better picture ( i picked it cuz it's also a cop thing and also in boston), and not to underappreciate kevin bacon, sean penn, and tim robbins, but with damon, dicaprio, nicholson, martin sheen, wahlberg, and alec baldwin, i dont know. i just wanted more.
