Taking money that isn't yours...wrong but thrilling

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2011)

Let's be honest here. People slave away all day trying to make a buck. The majority of people will continue to do this and it works. I even recommend it. Now that being said, there are those that like money too, but don't want to work for it in the traditional sense. Instead, they like to work for it their way. Welcome to The Town. It's about a crew who can and does take down heists and they don't even entertain getting caught. Ben Affleck gets to direct and act and show off his well earned talent and skills in making this movie work. This movie is like a comfortable glove for him. I can easily get absorbed into the adventure and thrill of the mission, but people get hurt and killed and that just doesn't make whatever is happening right in the real world. But in the movie world, well it works. Also, the cursing in this movie is distasteful because it is over done at times. I realize it is necessary to convey a certain type mentality and give the movie scene a certain feel. For me, it detracted a little. Curse to make a point, not a dialog. The ending is satisfying and can cause the viewer some thinking after the movie ends. Now isn't that what entertainment is all about? This movie easily joins the ranks of the stick em ups....Enjoy
