From what I can remember, it's a pretty good movie. But then again, I tend to like really gritty movies like this one.

This is what I would call a solid film: solid casting, acting, story and emotion. Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall work well together. It won't break any new ground, but it's a good film.

This sleek, engrossing cops vs. criminals thriller has plenty that we've all seen before, but it's Gray's calculated direction and the well-developed characters that keeps it fresh; memorable sequences include a notably hot opening shot of Eva Mendes and a rain-soaked car chase seen mostly through wiper blades. Final Grade: B+

I did like this movie. Nothing really wowed me but it was entertaining enough to watch all the way through with interest. It had pretty good star power that actually made it worth watching

A crime movie set in the late 80s, Phoenix and Wahlberg play brothers who are connected with the Russian mafia - Phoenix being the manager of a club they hang out at, Wahlberg the cop trying to bring them down. They become connected when their family is targeted, including the police chief Duvall, also their father. There isn't much here you haven't seen before, although the actors are all great, including Mendes in the obligatory girlfriend role. However, it all builds to a climax that isn't really satisfying. When it was over, I was left thinking "was that it?"

this is a great movie, the cast, crew everything is great about this movie. It had twist and turns and surprises around every corner which i especally liked. The acting by Wahlburg, Pheonix, and Duvall was superb. there was a lot of action and suspence, which was awsome. The only thing was now i don't want to discourage from seeing the movie the ending well it was good but it was kinda cheesy but it was still a great movie
