Hammer don't hurt em.
Totally unrelated comment, but just felt like saying that.
OK, Ben, great job. You win. FBI loses. Its so Sly Stallone of you to make a movie so Ben-centric. But cool. Charlestown, you know, I did not learn much about the place besides there are some coke whores running around an a lot of de-gen Irish dudes. RE your character, sad story about Mom, that’s hard. RE your totally misguided romance with the eye witness and hostage from a bank robbery, that’s stupid. Your partner in crime tried to call you out on it and you were like "dude mind your own business," but he had a great point that of all girls to fuck, you choose the one who could land you and your boys in jail for the rest of your life. BTW, great outfits. You and the crew seem to have the best looks, especially the police sunglasses Terminator look. Oh yeah, now I remember where I saw that supporting actor, maybe it was when he was a kid in Terminator. I don't know and am too lazy to fact check. On the topic of great actors in the movie I really like the lead gangster and spent a lot of the time wondering where I had seen him and by the end I concluded it was in Gangs of NY, but again, I need to fact check that. So in summary, wow, a lot of violence, it goes with the saying, people don't kill people, AR-15's really kill people, like the kids always say. Also the phrase, "if you are backed into a corner, best thing to do is to go out guns blazing" is also appropriate.
Great job Ben all around. The entire romance thing was lame and Rebecca Hall is like a poor man's Jennifer Garner, but far less annoying, but I guess it had to happen for the plot to work how it did.
