Ben Affleck’s new crime thrill movei “The Town” – which he not only stars in but also wrote and directed – opened inmovei threats
today, and it looks like it’s been getting some pretty good reviews. I thought I’d search the Internet, and bring you a few.
The first review I thought I’d write about is from Kofi Outlaw over at screenrant.com, which in fact gives it an impressive rating of 4.5 out of 5. Ben Affleck already proved himself to be a pretty good director, with his first feature-length directional “Gone Baby Gone.
It appears that he has proved his directional skills yet again with “The Town,” which is all about a town called Charleston in Boston that has earned itself a reputation for being the “bank robbery capital of America.” The performances are praised in this review as well.
The next review comes from Stephen Whitty at nj.com. This review gave the movie a 3 star rating and again praises the performances, describing a few of them as solid. Two performances that appear to be praised the most however are the ones from Jeremy and Blake Lively.
f you had a nickel for every movie that featured criminals engaged in one last big score, you could probably afford to mount a Broadway musical production of Avatar. (James Cameron, if you’re reading this – no need to thank me.) The Town adds a slight but important twist, however: The criminal doesn’t really want to do the job.
The reluctant robber is Ben Affleck, who also co-wrote the screenplay (based on Chuck Hogan’s novel Prince of Thieves) and directed the film. This is Affleck’s first writing-directing gig since his well-received Gone Baby Gone in 2007, and the first time he has combined all three talents in one film. If he felt thinly spread, it doesn’t show.
The movie opens with a bang, as Doug MacRay (Affleck) leads a gang of four who attack a Boston bank with brutal efficiency. There are fascinating details right off the bat, as the robbers throw the employees’ collected cellphones into a fishbowl, and bleach the crime scene to kill any trace of DNA evidence.
