"The Town (Affleck, 2010)"


          

Ben got a great cast together to put on-screen one of the better crime dramas to come out this year. The robbery sequences are top-notch. The car chases are crazy! Sometimes you feel as if your in the van with them going through the narrow ass streets of Boston. Even though the love story and Blake Lively's character are cliches, they still work. Affleck really loves Slaine as he's in this film too and his music is featured heavily(someone put me onto him cause I have no idea what his songs are except for the stuff he did with La Coka Nostra)

Affleck is a funny guy with an interesting style to directing on set as Jeremy Renner pointed out. Jon Hamm stated how much research the whole cast did for the film it's ridiculous. What's more unbelievable is that Affleck said parts of the film are based on actually heists that happened in the area. They even shot the white knuckled chase scene is the same exact route as on the infamous robbiers that happened there.

Anyways this is a dope movie and after that Q&A Affleck is my nigga.
