Review of The Town (2010) by Eli T — 26 Mar 2013
The Town is simply an amazing film. Fresh off his success of the excellent thriller Gone Baby Gone, Ben Affleck continues to show his directorial talent in this superbly scripted, perfectly cast drama.
The chromatic narrative dazzles in its intricacies, delights with its impeccable depiction of seemingly callous people, and mashes together - with beautifully vibrant results - the pulpy mix of brilliantly brutal violence and romanticized tragedy present in many great examples of cinema.
The best part of all this is none of it feels like a rehash. We certainly have never seen this before, and that's because Affleck's snappy style pervades every aspect of his films. Wonderful.
