Offers so much

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2019)

Heists, chases, shootouts, brotherhood, romance, broken families, revenge, dark humor. It's all crammed in there, and somehow it works! Affleck is a pretty damn good actor, but an even better director, and whoever did the casting also hit it out of the (Fenway) park. Hamm, Renner, Hall are all fantastic, and I was particularly impressed by Blake Lively. We even get nice cameos from Chris Cooper and Pete Postlewaite. The action is very well paced and never feels unrealistic or forced. No lazy writing here, just great drama, action, and even a (sort of) happy ending.
