I have gone to Boston many times for work and I have to say that I never ran into any men that looked and acted quite like Ben Affleck does in his movie, "The Town". Maybe because I, myself am in the 'Yuppie' parts? Who knows. All I can say is if men like this character that Ben portrays are in the ghetto...well then, here I come! This film is set in Charleston, Boston and gives the allusion (or trys) of tough white kids having it hard on the streets. Not very certain this comes across but what does is family issues and drug problems, and how to deal (if you can). Ben steals the stage. I have heard other reviewers saying that this film doesn't compare to "Cry Baby Cry", not having seen that, I cannot comment. I can say that in my opinion this film was an entertaining watch. I thought it realistic and solid. 3 1/2 stars.
