*** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** *** Spoilers *** Based on a crime novel of the same name by Dennis Lehne,this movie is entertaining and moving crime drama. I haven't read the novel but have heard that it is great too. Talking about acting,that is top-notch. Our three lead actors are really good especially Sean And Tim They deserved the academy award. The locations are really good and the scene when everything unravels (when Jimmy shoots Dave )is chilling. On the other hand,it was a bit predictable about Dave not being the killer,anyhow they managed to keep the suspense about the real one. This movie is just not about murdered girl of Jimmy but about the characters and their life after the incident which effected the great deal of their childhood. As Dave was cited as 'damaged goods' ,Jimmy ran a illegal crew and it made Sean detective. How the confusion,mental instability ,lying of one character changes his fate and how his wife takes him as someone else . Some people will hate the scene where Boyle get killed for what he did not do by his childhood friend but this isn't about the justice. IT is about the tension,word of mouth,rumors and how things looked to either character which made him do the worst thing he could ever imagine to his friend.This facts makes this movie better and non-clichéd. Overall,This movie has an amazing screenplay ,great performances and direction,falls shorts for a masterpiece but it is outstanding in many aspects.
