Movie Haiku:Film about blue-collar Boston – old loyalties in the old neighborhood placed under stress now that childhood buddies have supposedly grown-up & carved out separate destinies. Eastwood gets the look & performances right, but the story’s awfully thin, with a predictably big red herring coming out of nowhere in Act III.
