I don't want to ruin anything. 71/2 out of 10. Worth a watch for sure.

Lehane's 3 major novels that have been turned into movies have all been better, especially this one. The book is wayyyyy better than the movie. Mystic River was atleast pretty close to as good as the book

Ran a bit too long for my taste, but overall was a good movie. Glad to see that Marty is still making great stuff.

yea. here's my only question, at the very end did he really go back to thinking he was still a Marshall or did he just not want to live with his memories?

I think it was a combo of both. He didn't want the memories and being a US Marshal was a way of hiding from his past.

At the end he knows the truth, I think he just wants the lobotomy so he doesn't have to think about what happened anymore.
