Just OK. You will probably love it if you are discerning...

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2011)

Well, as there is a lot of money in this movie, the atmosphere is good, the actors are quite good, the sound, the colors and the camera work are good, but the most important thing on a movie like that, a story that seems real and close to life, to make the movie authentic and absorbing, is yet again destroyed by the needs of the average viewer of the big budget movies of our time. Or if the script would at least be somewhat creative. No, that one even less. Seriously, the story did hurt my brain from time to time. A love story? One coincident after another? Again: A love story??? ... Tip: Similar experience, waaaaay better Regie, Music and Script: Badlands(1973). Just as a tip for all you out there that are poisened by Hollywood and think that "The Town" is a really good movie. It isn't. It's entertaining, because the thrill and the action are OK, the feeling of the police thread for the bank rubbers is also good (by far the best part), but its far from being a really good movie entirely, mostly because the people in the movie are constantly doing things that seem absurd.
