the movie is interesting and good but not great. the cast does very well however. the movie also has some great camera work and music. the mainn flaw is the story.

Well I can't be odjectively, because I'm biased (Joaquin Pheonix My favorit actor) but Yards it's a powerful movie an experience that won't startle or surprise you but will satisfy your need to see good actors at work.
Outstanding film. This film had great drama and was a good thriller. The directing and screenplay by Gray was amazing. Wahlberg and Phoenix were great actors in this film.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Yards" !
