What Doesn't Kill You

About This Movie

What Doesn't Kill You is this gritty tale set in South Boston that really digs into the lives of two childhood friends caught in the crime world. The film has a raw, almost claustrophobic feel to it, as you watch their lives spiral out of control. Brian Goodman, who also stars, manages to capture that heavy atmosphere — the weight of poor choices, and the strain on relationships. The pacing feels just right, not rushed, allowing for some heavy moments to sink in. The performances, especially from Goodman and Mark Ruffalo, are grounded and real, which adds to the film's distinct vibe. It's more about the emotional fallout than the action itself, and that’s what sticks with you long after the credits roll.
