Not yet, but Ben is an awesome director. He's also got Boston down pat. Duh. Can't wait to see it.

Half the cast was from Boston!

Got it on Blu-Ray
Freaking fantastic movie.

Just watched it. Almost as good as Duhpahted.

I was working in the North end when they were shooting some of the scenes. They had to shut down Regina's during some of it.

Watched it lastnight.Very good movie.

Its a lucky weekend when I see two good movies.

Bronko 01-23-2011 10:00 AM

I agree, very good movie. I thought Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) was fantastic. Just like a Charlestown project rat.

Backbeach Jake 01-30-2011 10:17 AM

Watched The Town the night before last. Ben makes a wicked pissa movie.

fishbones 01-30-2011 11:13 AM

I watched it Friday night and thought it was very good, but not great. Pretty predictable plot, and as usual Affleck was a little overboard with his Boston tough guy accent. I agree with Bronko about Renner. I think he nailed the townie project rat role.

Afflecks ok but to Obvious
 
i've never been a fan of BOSTON the CITY to see a movie about it
used to go there as a kid on the MBTA to see the Prudential and all that.

i won't drive there via the new tunnels because the cost of using them
is outrageous ...not to mention the Mass pike should be free

haven't used the PIKE now for almost a year...... i'm happy to say
