The only family Doug has are his partners in crime, especially Jem (Jeremy Renner), who, despite his dangerous, hair-trigger temper, is the closest thing Doug ever had to a brother.
Knowing what Jem is capable of, Doug takes charge. Academy Award(R) winner Ben Affleck ("Good Will Hunting," "Gone Baby Gone") directed and stars in "The Town," a dramatic thriller about robbers and cops, friendship and betrayal, love, and hope, and escaping a past that has no future. When they discover she lives in Charlestown, Jem gets nervous and wants to check out what she might have seen. Unlike them, Doug had a chance at success, a chance to escape following in his father's criminal footsteps.
