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

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.

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

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

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
