THE TOWN 2010 Ben Affleck**** Though I had seen this film once, if not twice, it is so dense that it bears watching again and again. Directed and played by Affleck who adapted Chick Hogan’s novel this is a heist movie reminiscent of the Asphalt jungle and the Grifters. It is set in Charlestown a neighbourhood of Boston and concerns an underworld gang of which Affleck is a key player. But he is not as brutal as his peers and he has the intelligence to see there is another life and another philosophy somewhere. Affleck is incredibly clever at playing so convincingly a blue collar bit of rough but with also with brains and sensitivity. During a bank heist they discover that the female bank manager actually lives in their district and is a neighbour. In order to check out whether she can implicate them Affleck gets involved, too involved, he falls in love. And the love is reciprocated until the FBI catch on and his cover is blown. She Clare (Rebecca Hall) feels betrayed but he is in too deep and he wins her over. He gets coerced into a final heist at a football stadium but the police and FBI are onto them. Miraculously though not implausibly Affleck is the only one who escapes, Escapes from being captured, escapes Boston . He leaves the money with her, Clare, with the possibility that one day… they’ll be reunited.Read full review
