Ben Affleck Scores a Slam Dunk!

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2011)

I see Ben Affleck in a whole new light after watching this movie. Up until now, I regarded 'Heat' as the best heist movie. This overtakes that movie as the best I've seen. Great performances, great directing, great cast, I was really on the edge of my seat throughout this movie. This movie, just like 'Heat', is over 2 hours long, but never did I find myself thinking about the time. This was an honest and gutsy role by Ben Affleck. I hope we see a lot more directing from him. I honestly wasn't expecting too much when I bought this movie, how great it is to be surprised and bowled over with more than what you expected. This is what I love about movies, you never know what you are going to get, and when you get more than you bargained for, it's great! Great stuff Ben!
