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

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

[@rok3003]

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

[@CandlepowerRecords]

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!

I can’t wait for the Townies part 2: Mickey saves Christmas

Glad to see it on KZbin, 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.

[@mickeyodea]

Wow. It has been a long time. I loved Myspace. I was 33 then! I better make the Townies full length version before I turn 65. Haha. Thanks for the support. - Mike

[@josephreardon7066]

Great for practically no budget!!!

[@ods1ODS]

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.

[@dublinsfaircity]

Of course it's good. If you want a good one about Dublin try Cardboard Gangsters or Between The Canals 👌

[@G3RM3X617]

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.

[@ods1ODS]

@@G3RM3X617 that's a good point. And yes oxymorons was quite good.

[@G3RM3X617]

@@ods1ODS well cause joey who played a small part in this he was a big character who didnt do much screen time though was johnny hickey the guy who starred in and wrote oxy morons.

[@G3RM3X617]

@@ods1ODS i wouldnt mind this short at all if they actually finished part 2 i hate when games and movies just leave you hanging and never finish their shit. Its how i feel about blues and bullets the game is how i feel about this. it could of been good if they finished

[@pkune5158]

Lmao 🤡 , as a real irish man born and bred on the island this is a stupid statement, its always the so called irish that have never been to ireland or born in ireland that talk this 💩. I also lived in boston "southie" for 15yrs and this movie is a joke

[@mikeMikeydowns]

Fantastic! Thank you

[@loneronin6813]

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. :)

[@deezimmo4814]

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

Not a too bad hard hitting short film if you like gangster and violence,it's definitely worth a viewing

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.

Lol I love the part where he asked for a cigarette takes the pack from the guy and give him one cig and says what u got one lmaoo

[@caps201]

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.

[@WM-mu8ep]

I love it for a low budget movie. I seen it when it came out. That's not why I'm mad at them. I'm mad at them for never finishing it.

[@tracybarber4117]

Love it you could make more I'd watch them all Irish American for ever

[@G3RM3X617]

They couldn't even finish this one. They arent going to either at this point. It's so old and they never put out part 2

[@mickeyodea]

Thanks. I appreciate that.

[@itz-luigi1210]

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.

[@digitalbath.]

my fathers matty mcdonald & i’ve always assumed The Town was loosely inspired by my father & his “crew”. i’m about to check this flick out & see how it is.

[@mickeyodea]

​@@digitalbath. Hey bro. Thanks for chiming in. The short film Townies was far from my original script that was jacked by Affleck. The Town ended up being about 20% of my script. The other 80% of The Town script was based on the book Prince of Thieves. But all the "Florida" stuff, the scene about his father smoking cigarettes in the kitchen and few others scenes (and elements) were stolen from my script Townies. But I'm over it now. Someday I will make my movie. It won't be exactly the same as my first script (because it would look like I'm copying The Town) but it will certainly be better than the Town in every way. None of that sappy romance shit. Just pure gangster badassery. Respect to you and your father. Stay solid. M.O.
