"The Town"

The behind-the-camera talent Ben Affleck displayed so bracingly in "Gone Baby Gone" is confirmed, if not significantly advanced, in "The Town." Again proving a fine director of actors (this time with himself in a starring role), Affleck delivers another potent, serious-minded slice of pulp set on Boston's meanest streets, where loyalty among thieves runs thicker than blood. But while it pulses with atmosphere, this tale of grand larceny, unlikely romance and betrayal sacrifices some of "Baby's" troubling ambiguity and emotional force in pursuit of broader, more action-driven appeal. Results should bag Warners an appreciably large payday in wide release.
looks pretty good. cant wait to see it next weekend.

I'm baffled as to how this looks appealing.
- Trailer shows the whole movie
- Ben Affleck acting
- Typical "give it all up for love" sort of movie.

I think it looks great

I think a movie version of "Five Towns" would have been better.

all argument aside, its typically difficult to get a praising review from variety. which im sure its a sever case of being on ben afflecks balls, but i think it will at least be worth watching.

I'd like to be pleasantly surprised, of course. I can never be optimistic about a trailer that seemingly outlines the entire plot, though. Tells me that there's not much substance to the film. I've been wrong before.

Looking forward to seeing this. Thought the trailer looked great. It's the next movie I'm excited to see in the theater.

Early reviews have been great and Affleck is a talented director.
Could give a frick how much the trailer gives away.

I think it looks good. I will see it if my 14 month old allows it.

Is there a damn thing that you like? I would love to see a breakdown of your posts (negative to positive) I bet the minimum is 10 to 1.

Absolutely. But as far the content of Hollywood movies being made right now, I'd say they overwhelming majority of movies (like this one) are crap and rarely is something truly positive released (see: Inception). I bet the minimum is 10 to 1.

Noob...just out of curiosity, how old are you, and what's your film background? Worked in the business, film school, etc?

Really, even for just pure entertainment value. If you bash something please elaborate, most of your posts are just it sucks, terrible, etc..
The movie board has become the cool place to bash everything not done by Nolan.
Have you seen "The Town"? Yet you have already labeled it crap from the trailer, Really.
