Mini 'Heat' , But still watchable

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2011)

For people who've watched Michael Mann's Heat , This movie has no new story.A group of criminals keep on robbing banks and a dedicated cop is chasing them.
Heat had a love story for 3 of the characters which really helps the viewer to connect with movie and know how to respond to them.You can bring reason why a certain character But in Town , Only the main one has drama about him.The police and his best friend are only details to help his character evolve and are not important to themselves.You really don't find a chance to see if Doug is really a good person , why he is doing such horrible things and why we should see that he deserves to live rest of his life in peace.In heat,McCauley was always nice to innocent people and never intended to kill anyone firsthand and even when he could run away , he decided to get revenge so it was really reasonable to feel sympathy for him.
If I want to talk about performances , I should give it to Jeremy Renner.Renner successfully shows us the aspects of his character with having any plot points or lines in his aid.Affleck gives a forgettable but satisfying performance.Rebecca Hall's performance to me was much alike Prestige and VCB and did no good for me.Hamm gives us a normal goody two shoes cop but there's nothing to blame him on , because he wasn't helped by the plot.
Affleck's job as a director was really good,especially in action and shooting scenes which he proves he knows how to handle these scenes in order to not bore or confuse fans.
The Town , in overall , is one of the 2010's better movies and I think must be known as one of good criminal movies of all-time.
