A stray observation: You know what Affleck's Boston reminds me of? The South, as I have gradually come to understand it. Neighborhoods are universes. Secrets are cherished. Appearances are everything. Smart of Affleck to have Ed Harris's character hail from Louisiana, and to cast Mississippi's native son Morgan Freeman as the movie's top cop. Is Ben Affleck smart? Can that be? Must. Recalibrate. Prejudices. . . .
