I felt that it was the least inspired of the bunch, but it oddly received a good amount of critical acclaim. To me it was like a robot had watched a ton of Boston movies and wrote a script. Outside of Renner and Blake Lively, I didn’t think the performances were that great. Plus, the bad guy ends up winning and it’s played up as this sorta heartwarming moment. I didn’t find Affleck’s character to be redeemable enough to get away with that.
