The Town

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2010)

To sum it up in one word...disappointing! Although the film was well acted, the plot was simply to dry and predictable. The trailers for the film produced a lot of excitement and hype, but the film itself didn't meet the expectations. The film lacked the amount of excitement and action I expected and took on a more romantic or dramatic genre then I would have liked. There was no real climatic point throughout the film and the predictable ending left you disappointed and unsatisfied. The one thing I did like about this film although, was the realistic effects of gun and weapon wounds throughout the action scenes. Also, any fans of Ben Affleck will be glad to see him back in top form as an actor, as it was his performance and a few of the other cast members that prevented me from leaving the theatre before it ended. Overall, a very average and forgettable film.
