After his latest job, a Boston bank robber begins tailing the bank’s manager to ensure that she is not a threat to him or his colleagues; but when she approaches him and they begin to talk and consequently date, he soon finds himself falling in love with her and out of love with his chosen career, vowing to leave it behind him, which, of course, is easier said than done, in Affleck’s entertaining and well-acted if rather clichéd crime film.
