Fantastic!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2012)

Ben Affleck's film "The Town" is great. The direction is excellent. All of the performances are fantastic. The story is original and feels very personal. Charlestown is the perfect setting for the film. The characters are compelling and fully fleshed out. Ben Affleck proves all of his critics wrong with a riveting performance. Jeremy Renner delivers an excellent performance. Jon Hamm and Chris Cooper turn small roles into performances that are quite memorable. Rebecca Hall's performance is wonderful and emotionally engaging. However, my favorite performance of the film was delivered by Blake Lively. She is unbelievably beautiful, as well as a stellar actress. The screenplay is intelligent, riveting and quite original. I can't believe it wasn't nominated for Best Picture. I absolutely loved the film. "The Town" is one of the best films of 2010.
