Review of Southie

Southie (1998)
10/10
An absolute must see!!
11 February 1999
Southie is the intense story of a man's fight to do what he believes is right, despite the bad hand he has been dealt. From the moment Danny Quinn (Donnie Wahlberg) returns to his old South Boston neighborhood, you feel the fear, joy and over all conflict within him. Danny returns to help the family,that so desperately needs him, which in turn forces him to face the troubles he left behind so long ago.

This film is so emotionally intense you find yourself not just watching it,but feeling it. All the characters are completely believable and very well executed. Southie, however emotional, is not at all sappy or sweet, it is in a word, REAL. You come away with the sense of knowing what South Boston is really like and completely relating to the joys and pain felt by the characters.

All in all, I love this film. I was so happy with it I walked out of the theater ready to see it again. It is a very well done. My hats off to all involved with this film, it is obvious you all pulled you weight and you can definitely see the results. Good Job. If you have the chance to catch this film, Do it! It is an absolute must see!
