"The Town:" popcorn. Pretty much

cliché-ridden.
One major mistake: the FBI guy. Since when don't they shave every day? Sorry, but two day stubble ain't an option; these guys are Marine-clean.
Second, a bank manager in Boston falling for a construction guy? She, in other words, has no female support group? A guy who never lets her meet his friends or family--- not even a cousin (he would have had many brothers and sisters, too....).
And a soft guy as he was portrayed wouldn't have been a professional robber: sentimentality ain't in their repertoire. Any of them would blow away someone who got between them and freedom.
"Heat" set the standard for this kind of film. It's unfair to compare it to "Heat," I know, but this one seemed to have pretensions.
Barely entertaining because of its miserably failed attempt to be more.
And it also suffered from a chase scene that did nothing but plow the old ground, only leaving aside the vegetable cart.
Ben, stay on the other side of the camera, please!
