फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Story: It's just easy to follow. The story was simple and easy to follow, and Ben Affleck knows this. So he DOES this. Movies nowadays think the key to making and film (and winning over the critics) is to create all these absurd quick edits and complex back flashes to what, when, and where something happened, then quickly cut to a twist, back again. It's confusing. No one really wants that. So instead of doing this, he creates a story that's easy and simple to follow. That's exactly what I wanted.
Acting: Ben Affleck directs and stars. He did a great job on both parts, and he sets up the cast perfectly. First off, there's no cringe-worthy scenes. We are following the characters throughout, and there isn't no crazy stuff the characters do or say that we question. A lot of movies do that, The Town knows exactly what not to do. It was real too, leading me too...
Realism: Yup. The Town knows how to create this effect? How does it create this effect? Well I'll tell you! The Town knows not to put in cheesy CGI effects. Everything lots realistic and gritty. You feel like your sucked into the situation of the characters. That's what films are SUPPOSED to do, and the objection is not to make us entertained. Movies are supposed to be an experience, and The Town knew what to do.
Romance: I cannot believe I am putting this on here, but it counts. The Town isn't confused with just being a crime-thriller. It knows it's strengths and it's weaknesses. It's a genre-binder. It binds together what we want to watch, too. Action, drama, romance, and more drama. What more could you exactly want? The movie has it all.
If you can get past that the movie is a bit contrived, it knows how to push this thing out of the way. It's simplistic, gritty, and highly realistic. Yup, this is a Ben Affleck movie and I'm proud to say it. The movie was fantastic though, and if wasn't so clichéd in some parts, maybe it would become a masterpiece. But it did what it did, as pushed boundaries no movie has dared to do. So that sets it, go see it. Recommended for all. 8/10.
Affleck's first foray into directing with the Dennis Lehane adaptation Gone Baby Gone shocked viewers and the critical community in kind, showing that a fading acting career does not mean one is down-and-out in Hollywood. Affleck marries his two passions in The Town, directing, producing and writing the film as well as starring in the lead role, his first since 2003's Paycheck. He owns this comeback performance, successfully wiping any lingering distaste from duds like Daredevil or Gigli. This is by no means a one-man show, but The Town has nothing close to a weak link, in fact, this may be one of the finest pieces of ensemble acting in years.
Joining Affleck in a supporting role is Jeremy Renner, fresh off his best actor Oscar nomination for The Hurt Locker and he beyond a doubt proves he is no one-hit wonder. This is Oscar-worthy acting yet again for Renner, nailing his Boston accent along with his loose-cannon mentality. He is terrifying, but impossible to pry your eyes away from. The most shocking revelation comes from Blake Lively (TV's "Gossip Girl") as a doped-up mother with more than a few issues. She is not only unrecognizable, but owns her role, never calling attention to her drastic deviation from type. Substantial buzz was also placed in the way of John Hamm from the acclaimed television drama Mad Men. He is sufficiently pompous as a dedicated FBI agent also scoring a number of the films laughs.
Before I wander too much further into specifics, the characters in The Town populate a Boston suburb called Charlestown, which an introductory message informs us, is the world-center for bank robbers. Affleck's Doug MacRay heads a team of those in such a profession including Renner as James Coughlin and two others played by Slaine, and Owen Burke. During one of their routine bank heists, they are forced to take a hostage (Rebecca Hall) during their hasty escape. Afterwards, to make sure she does not know anything incriminating following her release from captivity, MacRay follows her and inadvertently falls for her in the process.
There is nothing particularly revelatory about The Town, there are few surprises or much that deviates from a standard crime drama. But Affleck directs with such skill and confidence while showcasing yet another peek into suburban Boston that it is never less than riveting. There is an overlying sense of impeding dread that perforates The Town and a handful of sensational action sequences do little to let up the firm grasp the film has on our windpipes. Propelled by faultless acting and a pitch- perfect script, this slice of the Boston criminal underworld is everything for which we could have hoped following such a bland summer. Affleck has always been a star, and if he continues to produce films of this pedigree, then there might be hope for the movies yet.
This is a richly character driven crime thriller. Ben Affleck knows these characters well. And acting with the intense Jeremy Renner makes Affleck better. The only actor who looks out of place is Blake Lively. She just can't get rid of that Cali feel and her accent sounds terrible. Brit Rebecca Hall does a better job than her. The action is exciting. And the story is riveting. But it's the characters and the actors that are so engaging.
A perfect combo of sold story, captivating screenplay, amazing writing, brilliant character development, good emotional content and brilliant cinematography (watch out for the shaky camera, this is the best camera work I've seen after 'Bourne' series) all together delivers an entertaining action thriller...worth a watch.

- ट्रिवियाBefore the movie was released, Ben Affleck praised Jeremy Renner's performance. He jokingly stated that if there was a bad shot or performance from someone else in a scene, editing could easily cut to Renner looking at a napkin to make the scene work. Jeremy Renner would go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for his performance.

Doug MacRay: No matter how much you change, you still have to pay the price for the things you've done. So I got a long road. But I know I'll see you again - this side or the other.
- क्रेज़ी क्रेडिटCharlestown's reputation as a breeding ground for armed robbers is authentic. However, this film all but ignores the great majority of the residents of Charlestown, past and present, who are the same good and true people found most anywhere. This film is dedicated to them.
- इसके अलावा अन्य वर्जनThere are three known versions to exist: the 125-minute theatrical cut; the 150-minute extended cut that follows closely to the novel and the 153-minute alternate cut that is the same as the extended version but uses the original novel's ending.
