       The deep Boston feels to this movie makes if real and believable. At times the movies did movie too fast and some characters that I would of liked to see more, weren't in the movie a great deal.  The characters are richly drawn and you can visualize the action, as it takes place, more brutal than we expect. The neighborhoods of Boston and Charles town are engraved in memory. The rich Boston accents gave this movie a more authentic feel, the accents gave me a sense that I was their, it made the movie experience that much more great. I would go back to see this movie again, because it was just that good, and if you haven't seen it yet, go and see this movie, because I feel that there will be some awards for The Town.
