Okay

Rating: 5/10 (20 September 2010)

The Town is an okay movie, not great and not bad. I give it an average rating of 5 points out of 10 on the I.M.D.B. system of weights and balances, ha ha.
Director Ben Affleck does a decent job with the material. The story is very gritty for him but it is also kind of predictable and trying to follow the footsteps of movies such as The Departed. The acting is fairly ho-hum in quality and as I said it is a predictable story, it is gritty and supposedly "real" to some but I never really was convinced I was watching anything but a Hollywood movie. It never really drew me in to the story.
I'd say it's worth seeing but save your 10 quid and catch it on D.V.D. I saw it with friends and we had an O.K. time.... as I said it is O.K.
