I’m Irish & Italian from NY. This movie is the shit.

Absolutely Epic! I would love to read the script. I read in the comment there were problems shooting the end scenes at the park? This is Great! Pure Independent Brilliance. One of the Best Mob Movies ever shot. Bravo!

This was the best 42 minutes and change I've spent in a while. Awesome movie!

My father plays the main protagonist in this movie and he has since past away so this is really cool to see him many years later so healthy and so passionate about acting. Thank you for keeping this up wade Gallagher lives on!!

Hey pal. Remember me? We met quite a few times when we were filming. I still think about your dad often. I really wish he was still around. We were best friends since the day we met. Great guy. Great actor. Yes, Wade lives on forever in Townies.

Bloody brilliant, great little gem, need to start in full length

Glad to see it on KZread, heard about this on MySpace when I was like 16 haha. Told my friend Adam who loved the departed "we are seeing this movie!" after watching the trailer. im 25 now. blast from the past for sure.

Thoroughly enjoyed your movie. I really respect your talent and what you've done with it. Best of luck with future endeavors. hope to see more

I grew up in Chelsea in the 80s to the early 90s when everything went to shit everywhere and there were more 2 legged rats, that movie was spot on when it came to the violence, we had mad respect for the Townies in Chelsea, salute! Same for Winter Hill and Southie, Chelsea was one of the most corrupt cities ever, we partied like rock stars and sold more drugs than CVS, I was working at a furniture store in the Bunker Hill Mall coming back from a delivery the day they shot up an entire booth of people in a jammed pack restaurant the 99, in the lunch time rush, but like the guy said, there are no more STAND-UP guys anymore like there was before it all went to shit, I fukn loved growing up back then, when people didnt break their word or their balls for anybody! Good movie, it kept me entertained and brought back good memories, ty

You truly a son of the city. Excellent job hope one day you can see your project come to fruition

You could make this reach a lot more people. It is a great start.

Jeeeeez guys ease up. Did you click on this expecting a Scorcese movie? And its not an "Irish movie" per Dr, its a Boston crime type movie and there is a ton of Irish tradition in the area. Just like the Italian influence in Bensonhurst. Cool little movie fellas.

Johnny hickey's oxy morons movie was a classic so when I found this I expected more. See I wouldn't be as upset with this if they actually made part 2 and closed the story. This is like releasing half a movie and never giving us the second half. That's the thing it's not bad I could look past it being low budget, but i cant look past the fact it's a half a movie and they just said fuck the people who did like it and never gave us part 2.

Good movie, lots of action, and good cohesion; plot line moves smoothly. Rousing entertainment!

This movie seems like a good start to something that could be great :D I love the music especially. I grew up listening to Irish folk music since I was in a crib and I've always loved the history and culture of the Irish people. I recently found out through a test my parents took that my father is 35% Irish and my mother is 81% Irish as well, so needless to say I was thrilled about that. Anyway, I like that you guys are touching on the Irish Mafia because I enjoy crime drama films and I feel as though the Irish Mafia doesn't see as much attention in film as the Italian Mafia does, so this is a welcome addition to the crime drama film genre. As a writer of books and short stories, I'm actually in the process of starting a novel (currently in the research stage) about the Irish Mafia in the time of Al Capone. (Prohibition Era, circa 1920's) Hats off to you guys for putting your heart into the film making that you do. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product and how it turns out. :)

Fantastic! Thank you

I've watched this twice and I love it.

Great first cut. As an Irish American, I can appreciate what you are doing. A little more depth and detail could make this an amazing film. Would love to be a part of any future work on this project. My TV background may be of assistance. Keep up the fight to build this storyline. We are way under represented in American culture these days. Much love fam.

my dad grew up on green street in Charlestown.... this is spot on. he said anytime someone sold drugs, stole cars, started a fight or threatened someone that this strange low volume irish music would start playing out of nowhere.

For all the comments criticizing the movie keep perspective...for the budget and the actors this film had to employ it is light years better than the standard "hood classics". Flawed? Absolutely, but given the circumstances easily watchable and enjoyable. Oxy-Morons is a better film but compared to films like state property or the one with beenie seagal and dmx with a far larger budget and access to better options, it's a superior film.

I enjoyed this

A lot of comments trashing this but the kid had no budget or production crew. It’s entertaining and done well given those factors. The ending had to be changed because they got busted in paul revere park shooting the movie. People thought there was a real shooting and cops came so after that they had to do the best they could with the ending. The main character/director is talented just needs to catch a break and keep focused and sober.

I'm in 12 minutes and 46 seconds and I'm done watching this movie it's not terrible from the get-go I get the message of the movie certain characters we're introduced too fast with no background story basically no introduction who the character is and what that person is about I'm not going to lie it got me pumped a little bit watching this the lead character was on point and that's a fact

"Quarter Mil"! "Get the Fuck Off Me"

between the comments or the film i don't know which is worse.

I was born in Charlestown grew up in the 80s when it was the wild west. Not a bad movie but the acting is terrible. I don't recognize any of the actors as being true townies that would have made this short film a little better. Good luck on your project. To many movies abought the old Charlestown. How abought a feel good movie abought some great townies who helped change c-town for what it is now.
