Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2011)

My movie going interest lead I to go see the town rated R. A very well done drama writing and directed by and starring Ben Affleck, Blake lively, and the reliable Jeremy Renner.
Ben Affleck went back to his home town of Boston to write, and direct this gritty drama about the city of Charlestown, where the local employment trade is bank robbery among its citizen's. Ben is the unofficial leader of a cast of characters lead by Jeremy Renner. Ben and Jeremy are best friends in this well written drama. A monkey wrench gets into the work when been falls in love with a female bank manger from bank they held up Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). She can identify a tattoo on the neck one of Ben's crew. What ensues is some very tense and well done acting involving Big Ben Blake lively,Jeremy Renner,and Jon Hamm as FBI agent Adam Frawley.
Some of the best scene are involving the car chases in the very narrow streets of Charlestown's, I'm still trying to figure out how they did some of those stunts... I love they how they used Fenway park as back drop for a fantastic shoot out scene. They did a admirable job using the town itself to get a real feel what it's like in the bank robbing capital of Boston.
I thought the combination of the cast back ground of the city, story line makes for a good time at the theaters. I give it 4 stars.
