should Ben Affleck be a director? maybe not

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2014)

I think there are 2 parts in this movie, which overall is not a bad movie, but definitely not a masterpiece. - 1st part of the movie is pretty good - the description of Charlestown is good the beginning with the 1st bank robbery is very good too Action scenes are in general good ones, so if you like action movies, you will probably like this movie in the robbery where they are dressed in nuns, the car chase is just awesome, super realistic - the 2d part of the movie is simply way too long the movie is 2h30 mins ! (i watched the extended version though) but then you think it is 2h30 mins and you have no idea what was going on between Doug and his dad and his mum - of course, you quickly guess that his mom was dead a long time ago  but how? this could have been interesting And Ben Affleck's play is too monolithic, I think the guy has 1 2 or 3 max face expressions, like if he was thinking of what to say next  it does not help the movie  In the end, decent action movie, action packed, but way too long, and it could have been much better with a deeper scenario
