Screw this movie. the shoot today was over 12 hours and affected all of the residents of the street they used. crew telling people they can't come out of homes, rude & insensitive cops taking their grief out on everyone, and a total disruption without prior warning or compensation. Bayonne, the movie crew & Vinny (one of worst ever to wear a badge) failed the people living on the street they used to film today.
