Review of Monument Ave.

The only reason I saw this movie, or so I thought, was because Jason Barry (whose performance in Titanic and Circle of Friends I liked but wanted to see more) was in it. This was a great movie, considering I don't really like R rated movies. The plot moves along, and I understood it. The visual aspect was not anything to say "wow" about, but I enjoyed the movie. But it is certainly not a child's movie, and I was a bit shocked they would show three characters actually doing drugs. The language was a bit much, and the violence was slightly shocking, but in the end I think that it was a good movie. Especially the end scene, Denis Leary's character looking at slides, his cousin (Seamus O'Grady, played by Barry) in one of them. Very nice, but rather intense for my tastes.
