The bank heist and robberies are the main theme, but as this movie unfolds, it becomes deeper and draws you in more as the character's develop more. Ben Affleck scored a home run with this movie. Jeremy Renner earned his Oscar nomination. His performance is nothing short of amazing and intense. The setting in the Boston area and where it was filmed makes it all the more like you are there and you can actually see the places. Bacco Restaurant and Bar. The robbery and the beginning of the chase scene in North End starts there at the New Spin Laundry. Stunt driving - amazing. The Stunt Driver should have been given an award. North End is not easy to drive in, let alone film a high speed chase.

This was a very intriguing piece about the last surviving crew member of the mega movie Ben Hur. As you watch and learn about his past, you begin to really appreciate all he did, especially saving from a fire, photos that documented the making of Ben Hur. The admiration Movie Stars back in those days had for him was great. So sad that the Los Angeles Times didn't feel he was important enough to do a story on him when he passed. I guess they would rather print crime and sensationalized garbage. This man was HISTORY, especially when it came to a Major Motion Picture from 1959. It really is sad he passed away alone. Amazing story and a cool human being.
