Robot Holocaust

The Town (2010)

Labels: , ,
Directed by Ben Affleck
Written by Peter Craig, Ben Affleck and Aaron Stockard
IMDB

Four guys rob a bank and take a woman hostage to make sure they have a clean getaway.  When they start wondering whether letting the woman go unharmed was a mistake, their leader (Ben Affleck) meets up with her to make sure.  Then he starts falling in love with her, much to the dismay of his friend and fellow  robber.
A very fine film, although not exactly what I was expecting.  Ben Affleck is a great director.  He wrote, directed and stars in this film.  He did a better job in this film than nearly any other one that I’ve seen him in, besides maybe “Good Will Hunting,” where he just had a small part.


8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
