great low budget crime flick!!

obviously not a high budget Hollywood film, but that's part of why it'sso good. please excuse the broken 'shift' button on my laptop. themovie is based out of Boston, so being from ma, that was pretty neat.they get geography wrong and mess up names, they say that brockton isby the harbor, and they interchangeably use Somerville and somerset,but who cares? the quality of the filming is up there with Hollywood.they use what i would assume to be no-name local artists for musicwhich is cool. the plot is not the same old thing that Hollywood putsout every day and they tie in some local references. the movie is abouta power struggle after big Jim, who is obviously supposed to be whitey,leaves after being tipped off about a federal indictment. they are trueto real life in depicting the FBI as criminals of lower class than theorganized crime figures themselves. don't get me wrong, it's plentycheesy at times but it's a low budget film and i really liked it. it'sno 'departed' or 'gone baby gone' but it's definitely worth watching,especially if you're from new england or you've followed whitey bulgerat all. this probably wouldn't have quite as much appeal to people fromthe west coast or the Midwest as it does to a new englander.
