The Town

Action, Crime
5 stars
Wicked good. Ben Affleck (who also co-wrote and directed) stars as a Boston bank robber who falls for his kidnap victim, Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona). Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) co-stars as Affleck’s volatile best friend. Realistic and gritty with lots of intense action and some wicked violent scenes. (I hope you’re getting my Boston humor here!). My only possible complaint is that there were a couple of scenes where even I couldn’t decipher what they were saying and I lived just outside Boston for 35 years! Excellent (i.e. wicked good!) casting, excellent acting, excellent movie.
