Takes place around Boston in the 50's. Everyone does a decent job with the accent. Leo does a better Boston accent than anyone I've seen as he only highlights certain words and sounds in the Bostonian accent and doesn't over do the lack of "R" sound in words so it sounds believable. The movie starts off good but drags in the 2nd act, then picks up the pace and offers some good plot twists in the 3rd act to finish off strong. Like most movies, I think they could have shaved off about 20 minutes by deleting or shortening a few unnecessary scenes that dragged. I would recommend you wait till this comes out On DVD/BLU RAY/ON DEMAND and then give it a try.
