Synopsis: Doug Macray is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of bank robbers who take pride in stealing what they want and out without being cached. Without any real attachment, Doug never have to fear of losing anyone close to him. But all that changed in the last work of the group, when briefly took a hostage - a bank manager Claire Keesey. Let her go without danger, but after she meets a modest man Doug called charming ... not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to bring the two into a dangerous and deadly path. I must admit. Yes, really I do. Never, absolutely never felt too tied to what Ben Affleck might offer the film industry. While it is true that my retinas passed several other tapes that had the good fun of Ben as an actor, in fact, things did not go beyond the latter. Above, Affleck's acting skills were never his strong, but at least recognize that there has always been an actor who has played fairly with its roles.
All this changed (and boy, changed), when Ben started his career behind the camera with an impressive total and quite dramatic thriller played in its theme, entitled "Gone Baby Gone" ("Gone Baby Gone" 2007). That film was for me, not a surprise, but confirmation that Ben really was more than qualified to sit behind a film camera and literally do an outstanding job.
The script ran here on behalf of the Ben Affleck, who with the help of Peter Craig, gave a script that clearly is very, very well told. Excellent character development, a proper narrative rhythm that makes the viewer permeates both the general history of the film as conflicts internal characters are some of the ingredients that make this script something very, very recommended. The crosses and similarities to films such as "Limit Point (" Point Break ") and" Fire Fire "(" Heat ") are almost inevitable, but it is also fair to say that the latter does not matter because the story is told this is really effective in more than two hours.
Not to be outdone (and not praise him too much), Ben offers an exquisite work behind the scenes. Extraordinary movements, plans spectacular, breathtaking shootouts with excellent coverage and tremendous persecution cameras automobile, will delight no doubt of film fans of Michael Mann and Paul Greengrass (to name just a few examples.) If we add to this that the good old Ben tells the story more than correct and seasoned development of the film with action scenes when they are practically right and necessary, really this is a perfect work behind the scenes Affleck .
Perhaps the weak point Ben has always been his acting ability. In fact, it has never been an actor who could perform in different roles, or had at first sight too palpable ductility.
Does it apply then, the latter to his starring role in "The Town"? For the truth is no. In keeping with his performance behind the scenes, Affleck was able to provide a very good performance in the film, accompanied by a phenomenon of acting as Jeremy Renner and sustained a very good way for a more interesting Rebecca Hall.
"The Town" is, in short, a police thriller of undoubted quality film. A film product made with absolute seriousness, and with an undeniable quality (both technical and narrative) that will delight film lovers in general police. Hopefully (and I mean really) Ben Affleck follow this path. After two awesome movie like "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town", many eyes will be following what their next project. Because as the saying goes, no two without three.
Movie Rating: Excellent. Read
