The Sound of Philadelphia

Characters band together creating a mess. Story is hard to get into. Actors are mumbling and cussing. Sometimes the characters look the same. Like who is who? Scene jumps everywhere and the ending is just dark. I don't know what was the point. The film is short. Do not watch unless you want to purposely fall asleep.

Another east coast tough guy / mobster movie but with very little depth.

The acting is good for the most part. As is the filming.

It's just the plot and script takes you nowhere for way too long.

Is words that i rarely use, but with such a significant lack of action in an actionthriller , youll have to search well to find anything as lame as this. its the sound of an examination at the proctologist that raves these streets, and the road towards the plunger and away towards the ocean is very short.

its a scriptless, motionless feardrama among the filipensian tribes that fights to rule the understory of the citys crimeworld. but the waiting game of mediocre acting that lasts well into the last third of the film, makes it meaningless unless they are able to make it emotional, which it isnt.so when the going gets tough and the tough hits the floor it wont lever the libra.

so if you will have a nice film to view, do not choose this one.a no recommend from the grumpy old man

This movie fell short when it could of been great. It was armed with a good story, actors and setting all lined up. Unfortunately, it just didn't formulate. The film started well then about half way in becomes dull. I just expected more, especially when it came to the ending. When all said and done this movie is was just ok.

I've no idea why this has received such poor reviews, I thought it was very good. The acting was great all round and the photography is excellent.. if you like the films of James Gray then you'll probably like this.. worth a watch
