My Review: The Town

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2012)

I was kind of biased when it came to Ben Affleck because he had some good movies and some bad movies. But he kept his cool as a writer/director. When he made Gone Baby Gone, it became one of those movies you would love to see again & again. And he proves that once again with The Town. In the film set in Boston, Affleck plays Doug Mcray, leader of a four-man robbery crew who hits banks and armored cars. Joining him is Jon Hamm from TV's Mad Men playing the FBI agent determined to bring the crew to justice. Jeremy Renner from The Hurt Locker playing Doug's best friend who's a little bit frightening, The gorgeous Rebecca Hall playing the bank manager connected to one of Doug's heists and his love interest. And Blake Lively from TV's Gossip Girl playing Renner's sister and Affleck's ex. I loved the chemistry between Affleck and Hall because they connected really well. But Hamm surprised me most and I don't watch Mad Men. Overall good movie, good cast, and if you haven't seen it, my suggestion: go to Best Buy, find this on DVD or Blu-Ray, and watch it. It's really good.
