MOVIE REVIEW: THE TOWN (15)

SLIDER’S REVIEW:

I really enjoyed watching this film.

This film is about the most robbery prone town in america. A place called Charlestown. I knew to expect guns, masked men and get away vans and that’s exactly what I got. What I liked about this crime drama film was that It told a good story and nothing was too over the top.

At first I didn’t think I was going to get anything out of this film. I had seen lot of bank robberies In films before so it didn’t think it would be anything different. But It was how the drama and romance build up pans out that drew me in, everyones acting skills gave the storyline the edge it needed. The action sequences blended in perfectly, I loved the visuals of the bank robbers dressed as nuns.

My hat goes off to Ben Affleck because he kill two birds with one stone. He pulls off such a gripping performance as lead role and then as the credits roll at the end you read that he also directs this movie.If theres any doubt on his comback to the game then this film should put any mind at ease. The rest of the cast do a superb job especially a hot headed Jeremy Renner, he plays Jem Coughlin and a cute Rebecca Hall who plays Claire Keesey. There’s also the sexy Blake Lively who plays Krista Coughlin, her acting really shows her in a great light. She can thank her Gossip Girl days.

The Town is a great success in terms of story & screenplay. #A must watch.

MY STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 4.5

 

ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:

The scene where Doug walks into to Fergie’s flower shop after something went wrong. He sees Rusty first at the counter. He walks toward him and then leans towards his face as if to wisper something. Doug unexpectedly pulls a gun to the side of his face a pulls the trigger.
