Mark Wahlberg Was The Hero of the Film

Wahlberg, sorry, I mean Sergeant Dignam, was the hero of this brilliant film.

His straight-talking, no-time-for-political-correct-niceties, action-ready, tough guy attitude won out in the end and defeated the super-fake, pretend-goody-goody college boy Matt Damon, sorry I mean Colin Sullivan, when others failed, like goody-goody liberal Martin Sheen, sorry I mean Captain Queenan, was too weak and unable to control his boys, and supposedly professional Alec Baldwin, sorry I mean Captain Ellerby, the pretend-professional who seemed to say all the right PC things, but was in fact turned out to be an aggressive, trigger-happy hot-head, and PC 'save the world' liberal Leo DiCaprio, sorry I mean William Costigan Jr. didn't have the stomach to do the things Wahlberg, sorry I mean Dignam, was prepared to do to the scum of the earth.

Anyway, a great film which showed us all that Wahlberg, sorry, I mean Dignam's approach to life, was the way to go in order to thrive and survive. 😁

Dignam acted mean & stuff & cussed a lot. I didn't like him. No one was likable actually.
