Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot as a pilot for a TNT series that never got picked up, then awkwardly repackaged as a standalone movie. The pacing makes way more sense now.
This exists in the shadow of The Departed and The Town—released right when Boston crime was peak prestige, which makes its cheapness almost endearing.
