Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) leads a band of ruthless bank robbers and has no real attachments except for James (Jeremy Renner), who -- despite his dangerous temper -- is like a brother. Everything changes for Doug when James briefly takes a hostage, bank employee Claire Keesey.

My biggest concern with The Town is the glorification of robbery. Affleck's performance made me want to puke, the direction was a mess and the story was not engaging at all, I had to watch this in two parts. An overrated garbage really.
-
Equal parts brilliance and boredom - Affleck is clearly a talented director but large stretches of this film go nowhere interesting. The bank heists and shootouts are as well shot as anything from Heat, and there are some terrific performances to compensate for the unfocused storytelling.
-
A very good crime thriller, with great direction and performances from all of its leads. The town is definitely worth watching.
-
Ben Affleck proves to us again that he is a master class director. The Town is a huge thrill ride that brings in great performances by Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm and more. If you like heist films or a great film to watch in general then The Town is for you!
