The Town and The Public Enemy

The Town & Public Enemy

The main  characters in The Town and The Public Enemy are very similar. Doug Macray is a bank robber who grew up in Charlestown, Masscusetts, a notorious neighborhood for producing bank robbers, used to play pro hockey.  Tom Powers is a life time thief who has lived in Chicago his whole life. In The Town Doug Macray along with his childhood friends rob banks in the Boston area and are good at it. Tom Powers and his childhood friend Matt Doyle have been robbing people since they were kids, but soon they start killing in order to get the job done. In both movies the groups are very good at the robberies that they commit. Each have a plan on how they are going to get in and out the most effectively. This is obvious by when in the town they attempt to rob Fenway Park dressed as policeman and in Public Enemy when they rob the neighborhood brewey by filling up a gas hauling truck with the beer.  Both movies are similar to one another but if I had to choose which one that I like better I would choose The Town but "The Public Enemy"

not a bad choice.
