The Town takes place in Boston where many banks have and are robbed every year. The  tought streets of Charlestown that are in Boston basicaly breeds bank robbers. The robbers work in a team of four, but the main character is Doug MacRay, played by Ben Affleck. The team of robbers hit a bank right away in the begging of the movie and take a hostage. Doug then has to watch her to make sure she doesnt tell on them to the FBI. He ends up falling in love with this hostage. At the same time the team is planning another robbery, but doug  wants out of the game but he is forced to do the job by them man that killed his mother. The crew does the job but everyone but doug gets killed in during this job. Doug escapes with some of the cash and goes straight to the man that killed his mother and kills him. The last thing Doug did was call the love of his life, the hostage, and leave her some money. The robbers all wanted out and Doug was the only one to get out, not quite the way he wanted, but he got out.
My opinion of this movie is that its an ok movie filled with a decent amount of action and mystery but it is long and drawn out. The movie needs to just get to the point instead of dragging it out. If you as a movie watcher are into mystery, action, and movies based on true stories this movie is for you.
 
How long a movie is this? Why did Doug leave the girl money; does that mean he was caught and went jail for murder/burglary? It seems sort of random that there's a guy he has to work for who killed his mother...sounds kind of like a forced plot.
