Ben Affleck's "The Town" opened Friday. The film, a crime drama with action shot on location in Boston's Italian-dominated North End and inside 98-year-old Fenway Park, has set off controversy on its quest to become a box-office winner. Residents of Charlestown, an enclave of Boston that the film calls "the bank robbery capital of America," say it gives their neighborhood a bad rap.
The film, which cost $40 million, has "wicked far" (to use the vernacular) to go before it takes the title of top-grossing Boston film.
