In the years most over-hyped film, Ben Affleck plays Doug, a thief who finds himself falling in love with a bank manager (Rebecca Hall) connected to one of his heists. Will Doug give up a life of crime for love? Set in Boston and directed by Affleck, The Town features some strong supporting performances (Blake Lively and Jeremy Renner steal every scene they're in) and a couple of decent heist scenes, but not much else. Affleck's Doug comes across as bland and blank and the story is completely uninspired (and kinda stupid). Jon Hamm, Pete Postlethwaite and Chris Cooper also star.
