i really like Mark Ruffalo, i am watching ALL his movies on netflix. He is an actor's actor, as they say. He loves acting, has appeared in many films, great performances, but his love is local theater in california. He runs a local theater, appears in his own plays. That is his love, not hollywood. He is considered one of Hollywood's greatest actors, but he carefully picks his films and works around his own local theater schedule. anyway, this is an incredible movie: ethan Hawke is also in it. these guys are petty crooks, since childhood, they spend time in the joint. Ruffalo's character wants to go straight, because he loves his wife and child too much to go to jail again, and if he gets another conviction, they throw away the key. he is hounded by a parole officer who is convinced he is no good, a loser. his buddy Hawke wants one more heist, an armored car robbery. Will he go along? Will he risk everything for one last big haul? he works at menial jobs, since he has no skills at anything other than mob work. His bosses treat him like crap, he barely has money for the landlord, lives in a crap rented flat, but, and this is it: he is with his wife and child. what choice! living in poverty, being treated like an inferior, a loser, hounded by a parole officer or......one last big job that will set him up forever. What a movie! Ruffalo and hawke really play two Boston southie punk ass wanna be mobsters, they are tough, kick ass tough, great acting. i mean great acting. Ruffalo is amazing. i cant stop watching him on camera.
