- TriviaBefore the movie was released, Ben Affleck praised Jeremy Renner's performance. He even jokingly stated that if ever there was a bad shot or performance from someone else in a scene, editing could easily cut to Renner looking at a napkin in order to make the scene work. Jeremy Renner later would go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for his performance.
- GoofsWhen the ambulance hits the FBI Mobile Command Center, cables are visible along the street to pull the truck back.
- Quotes
Doug MacRay: I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.
James Coughlin: ... Whose car we gonna take?
- Crazy creditsCharlestown's reputation as a breeding ground for armed robbers is authentic. However, this film all but ignores the great majority of the residents of Charlestown, past and present, who are the same good and true people found most anywhere. This film is dedicated to them.
- Alternate versionsThere are three known versions to exist: the 125-minute theatrical cut; the 150-minute extended cut that follows closely to the novel and the 153-minute alternate cut that is the same as the extended version but uses the original novel's ending.

Featured review
The Town initiates with a captivating plot, drawing viewers into yet another engaging heist genre movie. Embracing the trademark darkness of a DC film, the movie's overall tone remains consistently dark and gloomy, resonating with its violent and gritty setting.
The film manages to hold its audience's attention through strong performances. Ben Affleck delivers well as the protagonist, while Jeremy Renner shines with his exceptional portrayal, and Josh Hamm also impresses with a fine performance.
As the storyline unfolds, predictability arises, especially when a lady enters the picture, sparking conflicts and making life difficult for the protagonist and his best friend. While the film offered thrills through numerous conflicts, it mostly followed a predictable path.
There were some unmet expectations. The anticipation of heist scenes and adventurous chases went unfulfilled. I hoped to watch some good adventure, car chase and impeccable heist scenes, however, didn't get any. The focus remained fixed on the dark and gloomy town and the relationships between its characters.
In summary, The Town delivers a thrilling experience, buoyed by exceptional performances, yet leaving room for some disappointment. Although conflicts abound, they often follow predictable patterns.
