The Town shows promise as a continuation of Ben Affleck talent as a director. After Gone Baby Gone Affleck takes on Boston in a string of Armoured trucks and Bank robberies. The action is tense and well directed and acted. The car chases have an unparallel quality and the romance between Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall is breathtaking mainly for her charm and beauty. Great acting by Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) All in all what I missed the most in this movie was character development, the kind we saw in Heat with Robert de Niro, Al Pacino and Val Kilmer. So far even though tremendously entertaining Heat packs more depth that this daring Saga.
