Haunted by a monstrous crime, three childhood friends in Boston cross paths again decades later in connection with a murder investigation. Two things make this movie great: a superb cast and a cracking source novel. Dennis Lehane’s book is one of the very best thrillers of recent years; rich Boston detail. This story of a lingering human evil, capable of destroying lives in both past and present, retains a degree of moral complexity that challenges the viewer about what is the boundary between good and evil.
