...Stylistically, the cinematography is very similar to what we saw in The Shawshank Redemption: tight close-ups, wide establishing shots, innovative camera angles. Darabont is a master of filming grand, sweeping epics in relatively confined spaces, and he stays true to form here.

A morose punk rocker in painfully tight leather, whose music marries Alice Cooper to Tracy Chapman, splits Government Center with the occasional trio of starving violinists from the New England Conservatory. The would-be blues guitarist battles an aging Rastafarian below Harvard Square. All create a soothing din amidst the T's unkind acoustics...
