I watched a half hour and was totally appalled. The accents were so ridiculous and over the top. And the swearing. The mother was disgusting and I was just so turned off by her. Given yes, Southie can be a bit like how the movie was..but not THAT bad. I live 20 min from Boston and I say "Car", "Garage" "Harvard"...all pronouncing the R's. I thought Mystic River was an excellent movie and book. SO much better than this attempt at a Dennis Lehane novel turned movie. I'd Like to see them do a movie version of Shutter Island.
