Review title: OK to rent, but wouldn't buy it
Product review: The directing and acting are both enjoyable, and I agree with other reviewers who say that, despite being a movie about vigilantism there are quite a few funny and tongue-in-cheek character moments. Having said that, while the style of the movie is attractive, there's not much substance behind it. I see a storyline that subordinates itself to the characters from the outset, and because of a lack of character development, a principal tenet of the story- the morality of vigilantism- becomes an unanswered cliche. (As an example, compare this movie with Dirty Harry in "Magnum Force," a less stylized but more substantive movie.)As an aside, while watching this movie I was reminded of "The Town," because of the Boston/Irish connections, and this was interesting.In short, knowing what I know now, I might rent this movie once for fun, but I wouldn't buy it because I don't think I'll watch it again.
