Storyline
The Charlestown neighborhood of Boston is renowned for churning out a high number of armed robbers, generation after generation. These robbers never leave their Charlestown life on their own volition, the neighborhood where there is an unwritten code to protect that lifestyle. Such robbers include friends Doug MacRay, James Coughlin, Albert 'Gloansy' Magloan and Desmond Elden. Doug and James in particular treat each other like family, as the Coughlins have realistically been as such to Doug since Doug's mother ran off and Doug's father, Stephen MacRay, was sent to prison. James' single mother sister, the drugged out Krista Coughlin, and Doug have a casual sexual relationship. The foursome carry out a mostly successful bank robbery, but due to circumstances take the bank manager, Claire Keesey, hostage for a short period before releasing her physically unharmed. They find out that Claire lives in Charlestown... Written by Huggo

Trivia
In July, 2011, during U.S. Congressional debate over the raising of the country's national debt ceiling, Republican Party leaders used a clip from this film - a scene between Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner - as a motivational device in meetings to rally party unity. This was immediately lampooned by comedic commentators Jon Stewart and Bill Maher. See more »Goofs
Continuity: While driving to the second heist, the robbers have to drive around the block as the armored truck is late to arrive. The second time driving up the same street, many of the cars that were parked on the street are no longer there. See more »Quotes
