Details: Product descriptionThe TownAmazon.caBen Affleck worked triple-time onThe Town, in which he directs, stars, and co-adapts Chuck Hogan’sPrince of Thieves. Affleck’s Doug MacRay comes from a line of Boston bank robbers. With his father (Chris Cooper) behind bars, he spent most of his childhood in Charlestown with loyal hothead Jem (The Hurt Locker’s Jeremy Renner). Doug had a chance to go legit as a pro hockey player, but he threw it away on drugs and bad behavior. After the armed robbery that opens the film, Jem becomes convinced that bank manager Claire (Vicki Cristina Barcelona’s Rebecca Hall) saw something, so Doug, who wore a disguise at the time, sets out to make sure she doesn’t tell FBI agent Frawley (Mad Men’s Jon Hamm) anything incriminating (Titus Welliver plays Frawley’s partner). Doug starts by asking Claire out, and finds she’s more shaken than stirred–and that he likes her better than Jem’s oxy-addicted sister, Krista (Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively), his sometime girlfriend. Unfortunately, neither Jem nor vicious enforcer Fergie (Pete Postlethwaite) will cut him loose until he orchestrates two more scores–the last to take place at Fenway Park. IfThe Town offers fewer surprises than Affleck’s directorial debut,Gone Baby Gone, he raises the stakes with well-planned heists, nerve-jangling car chases, and deadly shootouts. Though Affleck looks too clean-cut to portray a thug, he gives a nicely understated performance, while Hall proves an inspired choice as a woman who could make a bad guy turn good–or die trying.–Kathleen C. Fennessy
