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 the novel, Krista was supposedly to be in the late 30s, but Ben Affleck cast Blake Lively mainly because he was bowled over by her performance in her previous film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the Extended Edition Blu-Ray version, Frawley (Jon Hamm) calls the bank and is told Claire (Rebecca Hall) quit her job "Friday." In the very next scene, Claire tells Doug (Ben Affleck) "I quit my job today." See more »Quotes
