After finishing the bank scenes, the crew moved to the streets of Boston to shoot a series of exterior scenes.
In the bustling metropolis, filming exterior scenes was rather troublesome as they needed to coordinate with local government departments and account for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, as well as timing.
In Charlestown, an outdoor café was rented by the crew for an entire day to shoot two scenes.
Martin, Alexandra Daddario, and Jeremy Renner appeared on set one after another, engaging in a probing conversation around a coffee table.
Villeneuve occasionally called cut and came over to direct the trio personally.
"Your state is off, both your emotions and expression have issues!" Villeneuve stared at Alexandra and emphasized, "Lacey, the relationship between your character and the male lead is not the inexplicable sentiment between a robber and a hostage, you don't know Martin is a robber! You think it's a perfect love affair!"
