A bank robbery goes a little different than planned when one of the robbers takes a hostage.... Good performances by the cast. Ben Affleck is good as both the star of the film and director.

Not awful, but I have no idea why people love this. It has some cool action scenes; Ben Affleck did a good job acting as well as directing, and Jeremy Renner was the star of the show. But that doesn't excuse the fact that the romance…

Really enjoyed this directing, acting, writing of Ben Affleck. Jon Hamm: very good as usual. Very good production about a string of bank robberies inBoston. Worth the watch.

Star filled adventure/drama. Nothing new. Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm are sure handsome. Not sure Jon Hamm was necessary. Ben Affleck as Director and Actor is a little much. Not sure why people can’t say their “R’s” in Boston. I’m on a…

What a film! "The Town" is a powerful testament to the skills of Ben Affleck, who did triple duty as the co-writer, director, and star of this taut, exciting crime-thriller. The film is set in Charlestown, the oldest neighborhood in the…

There's a lot to like about this movie. The friends and the neighbourhood where they grew up and plied their trade - I liked the vicarious experience we get of life in Charlestown. The cat and mouse game the four knowingly play with the…

Boston is super lucky to have actor and director Ben who loved the city. Though another crime and passion melodrama about a home town boy trying to break out from his fate, there are many fresh perspectives to keep viewers interested in…

A product of his environment, Doug seems predestined to a life of crime. He is unable to break free from it without sacrifice and bloodshed. There is really nothing new about this story, but “The Town” is above par and a film worth…
In addition to making fine use of actors Jon Hamm and Bruce Renner, Affleck tells a pretty compelling cops and robbers story here. I found it pretty excellent with some of the finest cinematography of the gorgeousness of Boston, MA. thrown…

Standard "cops 'n' robbers" melodrama situated in Charlestown section of Boston, reputed to be the "bank robber capital of the whole, wide world!" A Ben Affleck extravaganza. Need I say more?
