Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2011)

Another Oscar contender is Ben Affleck's The Town. Affleck directed the film "Gone Baby Gone" years ago. I liked the movie, but didn't love it. I liked the message. The Town is sure to get nominations. It's not a great film, but its a really good one. And probably one of the years best.
Ben Affleck gives a good performance as a bank robber. Him, and his crew(including Jeremy Renner, who is his best friend) rob a bank which traumatizes the manager(played by the wonderful Rebecca Hall) Affleck feels guilt. He's trying to get out of this business, but can't. So, he pursues Hall as sort of a mole. Hall is talking to the F.B.I.
The Town has more to the story plot. But i've given you enough. The Town has great acting. From Affleck, Renner, Hall, Jon Hamm as the main cop, and surprisingly Blake Lively as Renner's skanky sister, who dated Affleck.
The story plot has a heart. So does Hall. Rebecca Hall is a talented actress, and gives the best performance here. She is the heart of The Town. The plot is unique for this sort of movie. It's mulitilayered, and has a lot going on. For a bank robbing movie that is.
I liked Affleck's character here. He's a bad guy, but he doesn't exactly want to be. Sure, we've seen this before. But he cares about Hall's character. Which I liked. I found this movie to be entertaining. It's filled with some spectacular action sequences.
I think it may be one of the years best. It's not quite Inception material. But it's still a very good film. I admired it. I admired that it's not just a soulless bank robbing movie, but a bank robbing movie with a soul. I recommend you see it before it's too late. I don't know what I meant by that, but whatever.
A-
