Sinopsis(1)
Hay más de 300 robos a bancos cada año en Boston. Y la mayoría de ladrones profesionales viven en un barrrio de 2,5 kilómetros cuadrados llamado Charlestown. Uno de ellos es Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck), pero no está cortado por el mismo patrón que los otros ladrones. A diferencia de ellos, Doug tiene una posibilidad de éxito, una posibilidad de dejar los pasos que ha seguido su padre. Pero a pesar de ello, se convierte en el jefe de una banda de despiadados ladrones de bancos que se enorgullecen de conseguir lo que quieren y de salirse con la suya. La única familia que tiene Doug son sus socios en el delito, especialmente Jem (Jeremy Renner), que, a pesar de su temperamento peligroso e irritable, es lo más cercano que Doug tiene a un hermano.

Versión escolar de Heat para adultos. Excelente reparto e interpretación, muy bien rodado. Pero el cliché es muy grande.

Ben Affleck scored again for me, this time twice over. I can't even decide if he was better as an actor or director. The screenplay is admittedly corny a few times and not brimming with originality, but I still enjoyed it. I gobbled this film up from beginning to end. The action was spread out evenly and because of that there was no time for boredom. The dramatic scenes were not needlessly thrown in and the dialogue was believable enough. Additionally, I was pleased with Blake Lively's minor role and the impressive music throughout. A very strong 4 stars.

We’ve seen this scheme many times before, and sometimes better (at one point even the main character watches "the" bit on TV), but I like Affleck's sympathetic direction, which doesn't rush the archetypal characters through the plot, but without unnecessary subterfuge, matter-of-factly, and engagingly. The fact that at times it is too tightly gripped in the clenches of tired templates is unfortunate, especially in the moments when the more adept viewer can guess the next steps of the characters before they do. Regardless, that certain old-fashioned style only serves it well. I’m looking forward to Affleck's next film immensely.

A melancholic and technically flawless crime drama. The script is not as smart as the script of the masterpiece of the genre, Heat (but I’d rather not compare The Town with it, they are completely different), but it’s still much better than this year’s competition, which is nice. I didn’t like Ben Affleck in the main role so much (I think Jeremy Renner was more charismatic), but he did a great job as director (for instance, I haven’t seen a better car chase this year). In general, I have a problem rooting for the evil characters in films like this, and it was similar in this case. Emotionally, only the last few minutes touched me. It was nice to watch, but it didn’t surprise me at all. In short, a nice, satisfactory thriller, but nothing to write home about. Weak four stars.

It is more than obvious that this is Affleck looking up in awe at Mann’s Heat. And it is already clear that he definitely has the talent to film a similar, timeless masterpiece. The Town is not yet that masterpiece, not even in the extended version (I haven’t seen the regular one, but I certainly wouldn’t cut even a minute off the longer one). For that this is too much of a Heat beta version 0.5, but... But this is the only negative I can think of.
