Plot Summary: Based on events from director Brian Goodman's life, "What Doesn't Kill You" stars Mark Ruffalo (Brian) and Ethan Hawke (Paulie) as friends who grew up like brothers on the gritty streets of south Boston. They do whatever it takes to survive, living by the code of their dog-eat-dog neighborhood. Petty crimes and misdemeanors grow into more serious offenses and eventually, they fall under sway to organized crime boss Pat Kelly (played by Goodman). As Brian becomes increasingly lost in a haze of drugs and 'jobs,' even the love he has for his wife (Amanda Peet) and his children does not seem like it will be enough to redeem him. Meanwhile, Paulie plans "one last heist" but knows it will take both of them to pull it off. How can they escape the only life they know?

I saw this at the Toronto Film Festival last night.

Great movie. If it gets released, I think Mark Ruffalo deserves at least a nomination.

It's based in Boston. On that merit alone it should sweep the Oscars. If you know Brian, like I do, you know this is real. Basically if you're dismissing this you're admitting to your own lack of taste for anything that isn't prepackaged, freeze dried, wrapped up in a pretty package, and handed to you without you having to do any work whatsoever. It's heartbreaking to see that there are those types of people in the world.
