One of the best crime movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2010)

Set in rural Boston, The Town stars Ben Affleck as a leader of a bank robbery group that used to hold hostage a bank manager (Rebecca Hall) before letting her go. Years later, she anonymously meets him and falls in love with him, not knowing that he would be one of the most dangerous men in Charlestown. Enter the FBI, intent on stopping the bank robbers from stealing every bank in Beantown. In the end, everything comes to a compromise. The movie is well-done, shot beautifully in Boston, and has great acting by Affleck and Hall, not to mention Jeremy Renner from "The Hurt Locker". Go see this movie while it lasts in theaters and you'll see why this movie is ready for Oscar time.
