I don't think this looks like anything that hasn't already been said in a thousand other gangster movies before, and I wonder if that's why it's coming out January 17th. I mean, that's the month for dumpster releases if ever there is one, so if this was any good, why wouldn't it be coming out this fall? It's Ben Affleck's first post-Argo directing project, if anyone still thinks his directing career wasn't really about rebooting his own image so he can star in whatever movies he wants again...I'm not so sure about that, given his recent acting choices.
