Ben Affleck robs banks with a conscience.

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2010)

The Town has revitalized my thirst for all things cinema. After a horrible summer of films failing to make the grade, I can honestly say that this movie has redeemed 2010.
From beginning to end this movie has great ebb and flow, so much so that it's almost perfectly in sync with how the film is shot. During action scenes when characters tend to become angry or stressed, film clarity is increased and every detail stands out, while in moments of high emotion everything has a very grainy dark feel.
Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner have so much chemistry in this movie, I bet Mr. Wizard crapped himself when he saw it. (Note: I don't know if he's still alive.) I can say with 100% certainty that Affleck/Renner is a better combo than Affleck/Damon, but only in the sense that they are both acting in a movie about be poor and Irish.
Afflecks love interest in the movie however, felt a bit forced. I understand that he took her hostage and accidentally fell in love with her, but at what point did that happen? It could have only happened at three points, none of which make sense. 1. When he held her hand while she opened the safe a gun point 2. while she was blind folded in the van at gun point 3. When he stalked her to make sure she didn't remember anything "accidently meeting up with her at the laundromat. No matter which you choose, none make sense, but as long as you can get past that it's not a bad love story.
Supporting characters: Not really a lot to say here, They all acted great and each one in their own way made life really shitty for Ben and even more so for his friends.
I'll just close by saying...Watch this movie. (Also I don't edit these, I just write and then hit submit. If you have issues with spelling / grammatical errors in this review...Read someone else's.
