    Just amazing. Not having seen Gone Baby Gone or Argo this makes me want to go out and watch them. Plus a great cast who deliver powerful performances from some you wouldn't except like Jon Hamm didn't expect that amazing performance.
    Jeremy Renner is just on top of his game, definitely one of his best performances. In this movie Ben shows his talent as director and actor. Rebecca Hall was way better than I expected just from what I have…

    Excellent movie, the action is great, so is the tension, but the more subtle parts of their relationships are just as interesting, the acting is really good and the overall tone works great. Some very interesting scenes like the car chase through small streets and the final shootout pushes suspension of disbelief just the right amount to be interesting.

    Ich verstehe meine Ben-Affleck-Ablehnung teilweise selbst nicht, aber auch dieser Film langweilte mich schrecklich. Alles so unoriginell, vorhersehbar und gezwungen. Yikes. Ich kann die Begeisterung wirklich nicht nachvollziehen.

    Welkom in 'The town', Charlestown, een gehucht in Boston waar je leven al in de sterren staat geschreven alvorens je ter aarde komt. Je wordt agent of bankovervaller, een andere keuze lijkt er niet te bestaan. Of als we Bostons kingpin Frank Costello ('The departed') mogen parafraseren: you can become cops, or criminals, but when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?'. Ben Affleck heeft Costello's credo goed begrepen en vertaalt Chuck Hogans roman 'City of thieves' met visuele…

    It was on TV, so I decided to re-watch what is still a very solid crime drama.
    Ben Affleck proved, that his first outing was not just a fluke.
    It might have a less fine sensibility than Gone Baby Gone, but there's nothing eminently wrong with sheer entertainment value, and The Town has that in spades.

    A career thief who falls for a woman must question the friendship with his partners in crime. After Gone Baby Gone I wished that Ben Affleck would have made a movie as deep as that one. This is not a bad film but it lacks a certain depth that his previous film had.
