Monument Avenue February 22, 2009 Sarah B. Meardon (Seattle,Wa. USA) Monument Avenue is a great film with excellent portrayals by the entire cast.It is a bit 'dark' being about Boston's Irish mafia but again very well done. For persons who enjoy this type of drama check it out and kudos to Mrs.O'Grady ( Marilyn Murphy Meardon who played her ).She called her Son and the folks in the Mob on their outrageous and inappropriate behavior. "All these Mothers" GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS!!!! Best, xoS
Irish gangster activity served up all nice and steamy for ya April 1, 2008 Ken Jensen (Tillson, NY) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Gritty, funny, buddies, drugs, drinkin', crime, and Denis Leary = pretty good movie. Denis is one of those guys who doesn't ever seem to be acting. He's always some version of himself, which happens to be something I like. I suppose, due to my past life I never tire of watching guys sitting around partying and discussing pointless, banal topics with fervor and passion fueled by drugs and camaraderie. I'm getting to relive my youth vicariously sans the bad health and police issues. The plot was basic enough. Vaguely gang related but in the old school way of the Irish. People going along to get along even if it hurts them and their community until the head bad guy goes too far and the hero is forced to more closely examine his life and goals. The end was predictable enough but who cares? Pretty good flick for what it is.
dark dark dark January 14, 2008 Carl Sommer (Switzerland) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD because Ted Demme was a great director und Denis Leary is a good actor, but having seen this film once I think I have seen it one time too often. This is one of those films where everything is dark, dark, dark. Not one bright moment, no humor at all, and in the end there is the eternal american message: The good guy shoots the bad guy and all is well and we can go to bed. And of course, if you cut out the f*** word, the film would run 60 minutes instead of boring 90.

I like Dennis Leary and Baltimore, so I should have liked the movie, but it is too irish mafia for me, especially in Baltimore which is more polish than irish, and the scenario is pretty poor. Famke Jannsen is her usual sexy self but I fail to see her connection to Leary or to the irish mob boss
