This is an immensely entertaining and exciting crime film that succeeds on so many levels despite having what is probably the dumbest female lead in movie history, a character so naive and clueless as to pass for a plot hole. Whatever, just suspend your disbelief and enjoy the action, the witty dialogue, the great performances, most notably of Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner, and the "authentatious" (see the movie and you'll get it) Boston scenery. One of the best movies I've seen this year. Ben Affleck is turning out to be a pretty good director, even if he does spaz up the camera moves a little too much for my liking.
