Movie Theater The Town

[JCH]

Just got out of seeing this flick.

Damn good!

Reminds me of a mix of the movie "HEAT" with Pacino and DeNiro and Mystic River.


Loved it, very intense at times.

Re: The Town

Saw it today. I enjoyed it. Just thought it was slow in a few places but overall it was a good movie.

It has to be slow in places so the women folk can catch up!!

Re: The Town

Good movie, one of Ben Affleck's better films. Definitely reminded me of "Heat" as well.

Re: The Town

Have to see this movie, Heat has a special place in my life and is one of the best movies of our time. ( In my opinion )

Re: The Town

I saw it last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. One of the less painful $10.75 I have spent on a movie lately.

Re: The Town

We saw it last night. Good movie overall.

While it had some Heat moments, it was it's own movie.

Re: The Town

Just got back from watching it. Here is cost $4 if you get there before 6 pm. A good movie. Had some good gun action.

Re: The Town

I saw it last night, pretty good. Especially for fans of the HK416. Ben Affleck should stick to Boston movies, he seems to be pretty good at making them.

Could have used some Dropkick Murphy's in the soundtrack, but maybe that is too cliche now. Overall, I would say it was an 8 out of 10. I didn't even mind missing The Expendables to see it.

Re: The Town

Movie is based on the book Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan. Good read.

Re: The Town

I thought it was a very good movie as well. Reminiscent of <span style="font-style: italic">Heat</span> indeed, but good characterization and a good plot. I downloaded <span style="font-style: italic">Prince of Thieves</span> from Amazon to my iphone walking out to my car...

If it's as good as the movie, I'll have found a new author to follow.

edited to add: I've read the first two chapters, and Hogan can <span style="font-style: italic">write</span>. He's damn near as good with dialog as the late George V. Higgins, who, due to his death, isn't writing any more. Good books to read - life is good!

Re: The Town

Lindy, George V. Higgins was one of my favorite authors. Love what he did with dialog, no one was better.

Re: The Town

Roger that. It annoys me when writers I really like pass away. There aren't enough of them, as I can read faster than they can collectively write as it is.

Of course, one can always re-read them, and I've done that quite a bit. It might be time to run through Higgins again.

Re: The Town

Not sure what to say other than I liked it. Some of the gun battles made it worth it to see in the theater. There were a couple funny moments as well.

Re: The Town

I feel like Ben Affleck can really only act when he has a Boston accent. First Good Will Hunting and now The Town. On a side note, I did enjoy the movie.

Re: The Town

The movie was excellent. So many good parts.
FBI agent "Give it up coughlin, it's over"
Coughlin's response(Boston accent) "Faaacck You"

Re: The Town

Bad ass movie. Loved how the team was so organized

Re: The Town

I liked the sequencing, especially the revenge in the floral shop. I think the 4 foot gun battle in the back of the shop was a little drawn out, since they shot like 10 times at each other, and missed...

Re: The Town

Great movie, reminded me of Heat as well. + 1 on the sequencing.
