Not quite a homerun, but close.

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2011)

The Good: Probably Ben Affleck's best performance to date. Jon Hamm, in awesome fashion, steals many of the scenes as Agent Frawley. Smart, quick, realistic dialogue for the most part. A lot of the details aren't explained, purposely. The info or images are given to you, but you must grasp it on your own to keep up with the storyline.
The Bad: The actual robberies are believable. The get away afterward is not. Yet another "100 cop cars and 300 officers blocking roads in a crowded downtown and they still get away" type of thing. Several of the supporting cast are wasted, including Rebecca Hall. You don't care because you never get to know them.
The Ugly: The scene of Doug following Claire to the laundry mat almost ruins the film. Why would he stupid enough to try and hookup with someone he robbed at gunpoint a few days ago? Doug and James going to the projects to beat the crap out of someone who bothers Claire on her way to work? Luckily, the film was still savable and kept me watching.
7 out of 10
