The Town (2010)
Adapted from Chuck Hogan’s novel, Prince of Thieves, this film follows the exploits of four lifelong friends in crime as they make their way through a series of armed robberies and attempt to avoid the heat of law enforcement. While the plot behind this bank heist thriller may not be very original, the method in which it was filmed makes up for that.

The Town
It’s cool to make fun of Ben Affleck. Conventional wisdom was that Affleck and Matt Damon made the leap with Good Will Hunting, but it turns out that most of the talent the duo had was with Damon. While the acting side of things certainly favors Damon, Affleck is acquitting himself well from a directing standpoint. I’ll admit to having not yet seen Gone Baby Gone, the first film he directed, but I can say his latest, The Town, shows that he has some real talent working from behind the camera. This talent makes a film worth seeing, but Affleck definitely has some room to improve as well.
