      Deborah Ross The Spectator So this isn't fresh, exactly, but it is tense and exciting and well performed and you do end up caring about the people you've been manipulated into caring about. I ask you: what more could you want from a trip to the cinema? Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online The Town is a definite must-see. Rated: A Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) As far as a developing directing talent goes, The Town is to Ben Affleck what Pulp Fiction was to Quentin Tarantino. It's that good. Rated: 4/5 Oct 22, 2010 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson While it's not as epic and well-acted as "Heat" and nowhere near as visceral as "The Departed," "The Town" can hold it's own in the crime thriller department. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review If Affleck hasn’t already discovered that this is his niche, he’s encouraged to continue bringing us well-executed Boston crime stories like this one. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Below the plot lies an unspeakable network of secret loyalties that threaten to rise to the surface in The Town.

      Eye C This is the best movie made by Ben Affleck, stressing and moving. Affleck, Hamm and Hall makes a great job, but Jeremy Rennet leave his soul in this performance, what a great film.
