The Town had me rooting for FBI S. A. Frawley and his men, and really wanting them to catch Doug MacRay and his boys and have them sent to a tough Federal penitentiary to serve long, hard time for their crimes. Having said that, imo, there are at least three types of people who liked The Town, sympathized with and rooted for Doug MacRay and his men: A) Very naive people who aren't from the Boston area, and therefore are not aware of the really sordid, mean-spirited aspects of Boston's history. (B) People who are from the Boston area and/or are willfully ignorant and long for the days when Boston was at its most vicious and most mean-spirited. (C) People who've had run-ins with the law, and/or are criminally-inclined in some way or other, and who therefore tend to sympathize with Doug MacRay and his boys and to root for them. |

Nope: I still think that the Doug/Claire romance, the overdone Boston accents and overdone car crash/chase & shootout scenes in Fenway Park and the North End, as well as the sappy, improbable ending were The Town's biggest downfalls. |

Gone Baby Gone was a much better film than The Town, and Ben Affleck's brother, Casey, is a far better, more talented actor. |

I thought it was an okay movie, having seen and really enjoyed 'Gone Baby Gone' by Affleck, I personally didn't think that 'The Town' was as good. It was still a fairly enjoyable watch, I just found 'Gone Baby Gone' more intense. |

To each their own, Nural Islam, but I felt that the potential for The Town being a good film was undermined by the Doug/Claire romance, the overblown North End car chase/crash scenes and Fenway shootouts, and the unnatural, wooden performance of Ben Affleck and Rebecca Hall, and the overdone, unnatural-sounding Boston accents. |

Even though I am not a fan of Ben Affleck, but I really liked the film. The performances of Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, and Jon Hamm was great. The trailers looked great. I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. |

On the contrary, Chris aka Tarkin, Ben Affleck is a very overrated actor, and not that talented. |

To each their own, Trystan, but I feel way differently about The Town. To me, it was just a hyped-up, cheap, cheesy piece of junk. |
