Awesome!

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2011)

The Town is definitely one of the best movies of 2010 no doubt about it. I am disgusted that the Academy decided to overlook this movie with only one nomination. Why the heck didn't it get the nomination for Best Picture? Also Ben Affleck is slowly bringing back his name to Hollywood. He has been in or directed some good pictures as of late.
This is about a group of bank robbers in Charlestown who are on a mission to not get caught by the FBI. There's also a love story between one of the robbers and a bank manager who was a victim.
The acting is amazing. Ben Affleck certainly is regaining his name. At least Jeremy Renner was nominated by the Academy. I loved his hardcore character. In fact the rest of the cast was fantastic.
My favorite scenes had to do with the robbery of Fenway Park. I hate the Red Sox so I watched these scenes with glee. The way this offseason went for Boston they deserved to have their money stolen.
Overall, this is a gritty crime thriller that works on all levels. Too bad the Academy didn't recognize this like it ought to. I rate this film 10/10.
