Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

aprilgregh There really isn't much I can say about this film that isn't positive. Based on Chuck Hogan's novel "Prince of Thieves," The Town is superbly directed and features stellar performances by Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner and Rebecca Ferguson. This is a film I have returned to over and over.

cricketbat Ben Affleck does a surprisingly good job as an actor and the director of The Town. I've come not to expect too much from him. It's a solid crime movie with plenty of suspense and action and good performances all around - who knew?

lindseyholy7 This was absolutely exceptional. That's all you really need to know.

ej_blackburn Title says it all. Hugely underrated film. Affleck and Renner were phenomenal as we're Hamm, Lively, Posthlewaite, and the entire ensemble. When Fergie (Posthlewaite) delivers the sickening truth about Doug's (Affleck's) mother's demise, you couldn't help but gasp and feel the burning anger growing in Doug, wishing he would rip Fergie's head right off his shoulders for his smug, heartless and evil coldness. It was at that moment that I was fully on board and rooting for Doug to survive. I would happily go back and watch the original 4 hour cut if I could...
