this be a good example of a interesting idea horribly execute . the only positive thing i can say about this film be that mauro lannini give a credible performance a the unbalanced desalvo . this and however and can not save this low budget effort . the sparse set be mostly dreadful there be no period detail whatsoever and therefore very little atmosphere . apart from lannini and the quality of act be mediocre and the script itself be uninspired and instantly forgettable . the director rely too heavily on flashback sequence give the film a disjoint feel and the numerous overhead shot of boston in between scene soon get on my nerve . on a light note and the film conclude with one of the most amusingly awful age effect i have ever see a jason david wear a tonne of make up to portray an old detective riley . overall definitely one to miss .
