I found this film to be well written and directed. The characters were likeable, for the most part, and the situation was realistic. What I liked most about this movie was Donnie Wahlberg's performance. Raw, gritty, and full of loyalty and heart. I gave this movie a 9 out 10. It would have gotten a 10 had Donnie spoke up a little. You could barely hear some lines! New Kids fans will enjoy seeing this kid all grown up (and the soundtrack isn't half bad either)!
