Not "Gone Baby Gone".

Rating: 7/10 (23 September 2010)

I went into this movie with very high expectations and sadly they were not met. The movie was surely thrilling, entertaining, and even comedic at times, but Affleck advertised and picked the wrong details to accent throughout the movie. In commercials they portrayed Claire to be psychological torn because of the incident, which would have made a fantastic story to run with after the two of them got together. Or at least, that is how commercials portrayed, this is what I was hoping. Something deeper, something more than just the thrill of an action movie, something like Gone Baby Gone, which is Affleck's most recent notable work, in my opinion. But there was none, The Town was a simple bank robbery thriller with a shallow, not nearly elaborated enough love story and an empty psychological thriller pathway. If you want to see something suspenseful and entertaining, sure, go see The Town. If you were looking something for a little bit more than that, may want to wait for something else.
