I was expecting a good, solid movie since I've been a Denis Leary fan for 8 years now. I wasn't expecting a movie this good.
The accents are great. Leary's from Worcester, Meany only slips out of the accent a few times, and the women are all solid, from the immigrant mother of the first dead guy to the townie girlfriends to the scared yuppie chick.
I didn't expect it to end the way it did, which made this a movie that messed with my mind as much as "The Nephew" did. The ending was built up to and logical, but it's the kind of logic you don't really see until afterwards. "The Nephew isn't a crime movie, but it's got the same big Irish dysfunctional family feel.
