3.8/5. Comparing to other similar plot movies, bank job and maybe the other currently showing, Takers. I prefer Takers than this. Though the actions here are more practical and less exaggerated than Takers, both films, Takers and The Town portrays some form of human greed in them. In this movie, the Town, Ben Affleck was selfish in not sacrificing in anyway but simply watch his comrade in crime die with in front of his eyes, while he escape, leaving all the money to the one he stole from and the one that turned out to be his lover, Rebecca Hall. She caught in a bank robber as one of the bank tellers, having gun point pressure to open up the bank's safe for the money. The Town, led by Ben, had very intellectual planned robbing methods, like switching cars and stun driving on the roads of Boston. The plot was intellectual too, like many complicated stories that lead to arguments on screen or new people joining the crime group, like the florist appeared out of the blue to engineer a fantastic plan of entering into the money chamber in the horse racing organization. Ben Affleck is such a thinker in most of his films whether he directs it or not. However there are quite a number of slow scenes which focuses on him and make his acting look weird or puzzling why is this his only expression? Most of it occured in the initial stage of the movie. The peak of intense feeling from audience might not come from the car stuns on the road but the communication between his friend, ben and Rebecca at the table. Ben, prevents Rebecca from seeing the tattoo on his comrade's neck at last.
