Although I enjoyed this movie I was very surprised at the portrayal of the utter incompetence of both the FBI and the Boston Police Dept. I thought of it as more or less a documentary, sort of, that I could not put any faith in it factually. Surely no one could escape 30+ cops when completely surrounded.

I didn't find the portrayal of the police as incompetent at all. In fact, just the opposite. It was a bit of a love story to the police and the people of Boston. As a retired officer myself, people can easily escape during extremely chaotic situations... shootouts, explosions etc. Obviously he did escape as it was based on real events.
