Variety review:
The true-life saga of a South Boston tough guy is told with assured, sensitive style by tyro-actor-turned-director Brian Goodman in "What Doesn't Kill You." A fine example of traditional American storytelling lined with full-bodied performances, pic is especially notable for giving Mark Ruffalo the kind of complete role this subtle, instinctive actor has long deserved yet too seldom gets. Ruffalo gets to dominate a movie that has serious notions on its mind and is blessed with a powerful sense of place. |
Love the title...
Looking forward to it. |
Thanks for posting info on this. I completely agree with Variety's comment on Mark Ruffalo. This looks like a great role for him. This also looks like a more realistic view of Boston's crime scene. As much as I enjoyed The Departed, it didn't seem authentic. Mystic River was close and Gone Baby Gone was even closer but this could be the real deal.

Ever since I saw Brian Goodman in The Last Castle, I knew he had some potential. Glad to see this becoming a reality and getting positive recognition. :thumbsup:

I saw this at TIFF. I enjoyed it, but freaking depressing movie :(
|
|
Great trailer...but I get the feeling I've seen it all before...hope it's good though
|
Man, how come Boston gets all the cool movies, TV shows (ok, maybe that's a stretch) and sports teams? :(
|
Seems too depressing and the material too familiar to really be interesting or to be excited to actually see it. Don't doubt it's a well made movie, though.
