I must admit I'm not a huge Ben Affleck fan, but really enjoyed this movie with him as an actor and a director! The storyline is VERY similar to Heat with Pacino and DeNiro which is one of my favorites and it also reminds me of The Departed (another favorite). Now aside from the big names of those movies, films that closely resemble other big hits from the past, generally irritate me, but I thought The Town actually was a compliment to that style of storytelling - definitely worth seeing!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

For the thrill seeker and action junkie, this movie absolutely delivers! I actually liked it better than the first one and if you have the chance, see it in IMAX- its AWESOME!!!
We went into the movie not having read any reviews or knowing anything about the story line (other than the previews) and were fascinated. The movie grabs you immediately and never lets go! Its a fantastic dark intense mind- thriller. Scorsese and Leo pulled it off again!
