THE TOWN
What an absolutely fantastic film, from start to finish. Ben Affleck stars in this one, but as well as acting in it, he also Co-Wrote and Directed it :) It is genius, and a very good debut in terms of a potential writing and directing career!
In a nutshell, this film is based on four guys from Boston, Charlestown (Affleck's home town IRL). It's about big heists, bank robberies and the like. However, Ben Affleck wants to get out of that sort of life, he feels he can do better for himself - a girl he meets under odd circumstances gives him the incentive to drive toward his dream. He plans the last ever job he will ever do with the other three guys from Charlestown, to try and escape :)
It's packed with explosions, excitement and it is a full-throttle movie to say the least! The story line is brilliant and enticing, and it will definitely keep you entertained the whole way through. Visually, the quality is great, it takes full advantage of it being Blu-Ray standard, the sound is also of that to match, bringing the selected, gritty areas of Boston to life on screen.
If you get a chance, and you're a fan of these types of films, please take the time and money to purchase this, it really will not disappoint. On the face of it, it's just another bank robbery film, but once you start watching it, you will realise it is much, much more than that.
A FIVE-STAR performance from Affleck, and he done a damn good job with writing and directing this piece of work.
Rating: **** (Out of Five)
