Robbing banks while in love

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2010)

'The Town' is a heist movie with a heart. In simple words Robbing banks while in love. Sounds quite contradictory to be in a single movie, yet 'The Town' pulls off the tricky plot very impressively.
Doug MacRay (Ben Afleck) and his gang are professional robbers. They are specialized in bank robberies and armored car robberies with precision planning and no evidence left behind written all over the case. Doug unexpectedly falls in love with a manager from a bank where he has robbed earlier while trying to stalk her with doubts of she must have identified the robbers. As to expect his buddies and the underworld gang lords does not support him at this and in the mean time Doug having second thoughts to give up his trade for good and start a new life with the lady. 'The Town' is an action packed thrill ride in every robbery scene it brings in. And equally romantic in scenes where love blossoms.
A good story combined with good cinematography & acting 'The Town' is a different movie to speak of. It's a movie about feelings, uncertainty and expectations which hard to pull off. And yet proves that people can change in the brink of something better to live for.
