"It's all under control."Like the gang's bank heists in the movie, The Town is meticulously planned and executed, resulting in a film that is beautifully constructed and drips craft. As a director, Affleck demonstrates a real eye for interesting visuals and arresting coverage of not only action set-pieces but also quieter, more intimate moments. Plot and characters hold consistent interest on both visceral and emotional levels. The cast is universally excellent, with very strong performances from Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall in particular. The film successfully conveys the limitations of this small Boston criminal neighbourhood and of the lives of its inhabitants, which results in a triumphantly hard-hitting and thoughtful movie.
