The Town

2010 crime movie

Rating: 12/20

Plot: A bank-robbin' crew runs into some issues after their leader falls for a gal whom they kidnapped following a job. The authorities are also onto them, so things aren't looking good.

Both generic and preposterous, The Town really succeeds only in reminding me that movies that take place in Boston usually irritate me. Part of it is because I don't like hearing people talk about the Red Sox. Ben Affleck directed this and made sure to give himself sex scenes with two different women. Congratulations on that, Ben Affleck. Celebrate with a tattoo.

One beautiful shot of one of the crew in a nun mask made me laugh and probably made watching this long movie worth it. It was the perfect expression or whatever the heck was going on.
