The Town (2010)

One word: Awesome! I really believe that Ben Affleck struck gold with this film. It's the story of four guys from Charlestown that rob armored trucks and banks.The story is based off true stories of the people of Charlestown because the city is known for having bred the most violent offenders. The movie starts off with a bang as Affleck and company: Jeremy Renner (Swat), Slaine (Gone Baby Gone), and Owen Burke decide to rob a bank in Cambridge. The robbery is a success, but the only problem is that the woman they kidnapped only lives four blocks away. So Affleck's character decides he's going to watch her to see if she's cooperating with the FBI and Jon Hamm (Mad Men). Affleck is conflicted because he becomes romantically involved with the witness and he still trying to rob banks. Can they pull off the biggest job ever? Watch it to find out because you won't regret it. The movie costars Chris Cooper (Mystic River), Blake Lively (Gossip Girls), and Rebecca Hall (Frost/Nixon). I give this movie an A.
