TOWNIES SYNOPSIS:
After serving four years in prison for his part in Irish mob activities, Mickey Callaghan (Mike O'Dea) returns to the neighborhood in the midst of a bloody gang war between his crew and rival gangsters. When a truce ordered by crime boss Marty Flannagan goes wrong, Mickey's world rapidly ignites into ultra-violence and death. Townies is a socially intriguing look at the lives of Irish-American gangsters in Charlestown, a small community in north Boston, Massachusetts.

TOWNIES SCREENPLAY REVIEWS:
I think you've suceeded in creating something that guys will want to watch repeatedly like "Carlito's Way" and "Scarface."
- Review by: CaitlinMcCarthy
Townies will brutally saw the box office in half and become a classic in the likes of its influences: the Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, Carlito's Way, Good Will Hunting and Men in Tights.
- Review by: Bcap
This movie will blow Southie and Monument Ave away, and I loved those!
- Review by: Andy
If executed properly onto film, Townies could be the Irish answer to Goodfellas -and that's a huge compliment from me, as Goodfellas was one of the reasons I got into filmmaking!
- Review by: Mike Messier
This movie is going to be right up there with goodfellas and scarface. People will have posters of Mickey on there wall! I loved the script and can't wait to see it on the big screen

I do think if you could pass this script on to actors who have clout like Sean Penn, Ray Liotta, Steve Buscemi, or Gary Oldman, I could see some great character actors going for this script, hitting the film festival circuit, and the movie generating a lot of word of mouth. Sort of a long the lines of Narc or Reservior Dogs.

All I can say is load up with the best actors you can. Because this project will take the best Boston has.

This screenplay rates quite highly for the combined use of comedy and drama in the gangster genre. I would really like to see this script come to life on film.

You get the true Charlestown feel from these characters--the story combined with the intensity of the characters serves up a platter of greatness.
- Review by: Kate Kenney
I read the script last week. Awesome stuff. I couldn't put it down. I love the opening scene and really like Mickey's character.

I enjoyed reading it and can not wait to see it take live form!!
- Review by: Natalie
I am hooked! The story grabs you by the scruff of your neck and won't let go. I want to cover my eyes with my hands, but can't help but peek through the cracks of my fingers - I don't want to miss a thing. The story is intense, but filled with humor! Those wise guys are FUNNY and you know they don?t mean to be. EVERYTHING in this script was feasible and believable, which made it all the more unnerving and brutal. Brilliant. Absolutely fantastic.
- Review by: Bettye K
Mike O'Dea has captured the true essence of being a Townie which is being loyal to your friends and family. This movie is going to go a long way.
