About this product

Product Information

For his assured directorial debut, character actor Brian Goodman reaches into his troubled past. WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU tells the tale of two best friends who grew up in South Boston and fell into a life of petty crime. Brian (Mark Ruffalo) has a beautiful wife (Amanda Peet) and two children, but his addiction to drugs and alcohol keeps him from becoming the father he should be. Paulie (Ethan Hawke) is determined to make a big score so that they can stop scraping by and retire in style. But when a local police officer (co-writer Donnie Wahlberg) finally catches them in the act, they are forced to serve time in jail. Upon returning home, Brian must confront the painful truth that crime is the only life that he knows. Yet, as difficult as it seems, he struggles to clean up his act once and for all, in order to make sure that he never has to leave his family behind again.WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU is an old-school crime drama, directed with a knowing confidence by Goodman, who himself grew up on the streets of Southie and spent time in prison. Ruffalo and Hawke step into their roles with convincing gusto. In the process, they reaffirm their status as two of their generation's finest actors. What ultimately elevates the film's impact is the realization that this isn't just another thriller; it's the heartfelt story of a man who wants to make a better life for himself and his family.

  • Mostly good enough and worth watching.

    The acting was excellent. All in all, the story was very interesting. However, though they didn't destroy the story, parts of it were very engaging, but a few were not. For example, it was nonsensical to see Ethan Hawke walk out from behind cover and then shoot a pistol at a police officer who was still behind cover. In reality, the police officer should have been able to shoot and kill Hawke, for he not only exposed himself, but continued to approach the officer's position, thus making a kill shot even easier for the officer. It was one or two scenes that caused me to rate the movie as a three-star. If those scenes had been re-shot, the movie would have required a four-star rating.

  • Donnie Wahlberg through and through!!!

    I think it was a perfectly accurate movie of what really used to go on in Boston. After all, the co-writer grew up there. Just the brief appearances of Donnie Wahlberg made it a HIT for me!!! Need I say more?
