Utterly Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2010)

While I enjoyed the creativity of 'Gone Baby Gone', I just felt that the movie was dragged, especially towards the end. With 'The Town', Ben Affleck highlights his superb directing skills in this riveting movie. He also did quite a good job in the lead role but Jeremy Renner was the star of the movie in my books. Jon Hamm did a quite believable job as the FBI dude and its good to see him take up roles that require more scenes as opposed to his previous movies. The entire cast was superb and I think Affleck did his homework well. The movie goes in-depth, making you actually feel that you are part of this experience; you feel what these characters feel and you ultimately empathize with them. The ending was awesome but I feel like I have seen it somewhere before. I really hope this garners Oscar recognition as it really is one of the best movies I have seen this year.
