Watch The Town Description
Ben Affleck should direct all of the movies in which he appears. His performance as Doug MacRay, the smart leader of a band of bank robbers, is his best acting outing ever. The only thing he does better than acting in this movie is directing. I can hardly believe this was his picture.
The Town follows the story of a gang of bank robbers working out of a small town in Boston. All friends since childhood, they have a family type bond that they have long vowed would never be broken. Specifically, the film focuses on MacRay’s conflicts when he falls in love with a hostage (who was subsequently released) and considers leaving the gang and his life of crime behind.
But MacRay has problems in that his closest friend and psychotic robbing partner James Coughlin (Jeremy Renner) does not want him to bust up the group. And if that isn’t enough a determined FBI man (Jon Hamm from Mad Men) is tracking him and the gang. All of this comes together during the last third of the picture as the action goes supernova.
This is a very well made crime drama that also stars veteran actor Pete Postlethwaite as local crime boss Fergie Colm. Don’t miss this one.
