Movie Haiku:Long, tedious tale of Boston-based “Cops & Robbers” with DiCaprio, Sheen, Wahlberg, etc facing-off against Damon, Nicholson, etc. Everything’s well-done & competent, but also totally predictable: lots of “sound & fury signifying nothing.” Cursin' & shootin' & blood & gore, do we really need any more “rollercoaster” films like this one?
