RESENSI
CINEMA-31 : A team of four lifelong friends — Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck), James "Jem" Coughlin (Jeremy Renner), Albert "Gloansy" Magloan (Slaine), and Desmond "Dez" Elden (Owen Burke), from the tough streets of Charlestown, a neighborhood in Boston Massachusetts — rob a Cambridge bank, taking bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage. After her release, Doug follows Claire and they begin a relationship. He reveals that his mother deserted his family and may have moved to Tangerine, Florida. FBI agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm) surveils the crew and realizes they work for 'Fergie' Colm (Pete Postlethwaite), a local florist. Doug is hesitant to undertake their next assignment, and his fears are confirmed during the robbery in the North End, where gunfire erupts. The police arrive quickly, a chase ensues, and the team barely escapes. In a visit to his father (Chris Cooper) at the local federal prison, Doug reveals he is planning to leave Charlestown. Jem approaches Doug with another job, but he turns it down. He tells Fergie he won't do the job, but Fergie reveals that Doug's mother never left the family — she committed suicide after Fergie supplied her with drugs —and warns that he will kill Claire if Doug does not do the job. Doug finally agrees. He and Jem enter Fenway Park dressed as Boston police officers, trick the guards and counting room staff, steal millions of dollars, and prepare to leave in an ambulance. Meanwhile, the FBI has surrounded the building. Jem spies SWAT officers and begins to shoot, causing Dez to be killed. Gloansy creates a diversion and is also killed while Doug and Jem put their cop uniforms back on and slip out. Agent Frawley figures out the ruse, catches sight of Jem, and tries to arrest him, but Jem fires at Frawley and is killed. Doug escapes in a police cruiser, heads to Town Flowers, and kills Fergie. He calls Claire and asks her to come away with him, but she gives him a coded warning that the FBI are with her. Doug slips out of Charlestown, drives a bus to Route 128 Amtrak station and boards a southbound train. Later, Claire finds a bag buried in a community garden to which she tends. It contains money, a tangerine and a note that ends with "I'll see you again, on this side or the other." Claire uses the money to finance the renovation of a run-down children's hockey rink and dedicates it to Doug's mother. The film ends with a shot of Doug looking over an estuary from the porch of a wooden house, presumably in Tangerine, Florida.
