Robbing in the hood

The Town (2010)

For his second film as a director Ben Affleck returns to Boston and crime with a cast including himself, Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall. The net is closing in on a gang of robbers while one of them wants to break free from his life of crime.

There is not a huge amount that is original about this adaptation but it is very well executed. All of the action sequences are decent and there is a good amount of suspense through the film. While the character relationships are pretty common to many films in the genre they hold up well enough and provide a decent foundation for the film.

4/5 slick crime drama
