A Disappointing Continuation
The acting in this movie is really good.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Character development is usually overlooked in action/thriller movies. Usually we have rather flat characters who came to an epiphanic moment around the end of the movie. Here the characters have traits that are understandable based on their history and their environment. I really found this aspect of the movie refreshing.
One weakness is, how could the girl not know that the guy kidnapped her when they're going out if the voice is the same? Also, why would he go out with her? The chase scenes were good, but then at the same time, I didn't find them very memorable. I don't remember them now.
For a film with such a dull and uninspiring title, 'The Town' is surprisingly bold and original. It effectively balances an interesting and engaging storyline with some great action sequences. Heist movies are always at risk of being generic and repetitive but this one ensures that never happens with an original, convincing plot and an interesting bunch of characters.The crime genre has become increasingly stale and action-obsessed in recent years, so 'The Town' deserves credit for focussing on story and character development as much as action and violence. Great action films with credible plots are hard to come by these days, but 'The Town' is one of them.
I absolutely dig it, when the leading lady turns rogue, especially when the antihero makes the audience switch with her.I'm no expert on how an Irish American ought to sound, but, even though Affleck was charming and cool in his role as Doug, the accent felt very iffy. Renner was much better, and his performance was quite enjoyable to watch.The story was straight forward, and Affleck did a great job at keeping the viewers interest at the necessary level to luxuriate in 150 minutes of blossoming love, painful pasts, tough realities, betrayal and of course, loss.Rebecca Hall and Blake Lively. Beauty, talent, admirable, like- ability and attractiveness all rolled up in... two. It must be Rebecca's British allure and Blake's breathtaking smile, but these ladies get the job done every time it would seem.The Town is a simple story, that was told very well and portrayed quite eloquently by a capable cast. 7.2/10.
