The Town - 2010 - 6/10
[Image: 15f38g2.jpg]
Overlooked, street smart caper film from Ben Affleck, with ass kicking finale.
Crime passes from one generation in Charlestown.
Favorite target seems to be banks, which in this film are all helpless as comatose grannies.
Security? Trained guards? Hidden surveillance cameras?
Sorry, no, which is rather hard to accept in otherwise realistic script.
Affleck gets involved with sorta almost witness, while the gang presses for one final haul.
The big one. The stereotyped “last score,” after which all will lay low and exit crime.
Yes . . . how many times?
Ingenious heist, clinically executed. Gunfire galore.
Nice location filming, which might be a double-edged sword for some.
Unwary viewers better have subtitles if unaccustomed to nasally New England dialect.
