Michael Ledo A group of thugs from Charlestown, Boston, Mass. rob a bank. They take the bank manager (Rebecca Hall) along with them. They take her license and leave her by the ocean, only to find out she lives 4 blocks away. Ben Affleck, the brains of the group, stalks her to find out what she knows. He starts to date her and falls in love, or at least a Charlestown version of love, he buys her dinner, they have sex and he gets her a necklace. The relationship was not well developed due to the bad writing of Affleck who was more concerned about his scene shots than giving us a believable script. Ben and his boys rob more places. The FBI knows everyone in the gang who committed the crimes and start to close in to a final climatic scene.Not Affleck's best role. Never write, direct and star in the same movie. This movie was referenced by the GOP to describe their relationship to the Tea Party with Affleck being the GOP and the Tea Party being his psycho killer friend...and the Tea Party liked the analogy.(Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.)PARENTAL GUIDE: Sex, F-bombs, no nudity.
jeffrymiranda-25858 From the beginning, the movie grabs the attention by taking the viewer through well played scenes, however, as you go along the movie, you start to see some flawed scenes, especially during the investigation since the FBI starts following them but then suddenly you get to see this interesting element of the investigation anymore . To me, that's not coherent with a real police investigation.By the end of the movie, when Doug McRay escapes during his last robbery, he, in the eyes of FBI Agent, Adam Frawley, takes a police car from and escapes from the scene. In a real, robbery scene, if you do this, they won't even let a police leave the scene like that. These two tiny elements, in my view, undermines the credibility of the whole plot. But, in overall terms, not a bad movie.
rdoyle29 I think there's probably a decent action film buried in this really long and ponderous film. As it is, you get some great sequences like an armored car robbery/car chase, but you have to sit through the endless set up of the Charlestown locale, an incredibly implausible relationship drama and a dozen speeches about how Affleck is going to change. Somehow the film never manages to find the time during it's two hour run time to explain how Affleck could plan and execute a robbery of Fenway Park while under constant FBI surveillance.
