XxBlueSpade2xX Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Anyone else seen it? I won't spoil anything, because it is worth seeing if you like bank robbing/action films. I thought the acting was really decent, especially from Renner. Affleck laid the Boston accent on a little thick, actually a lot of the characters did. But, it's a lot better than most of the drab that I've seen lately. Also, Ben Affleck impressed me with "Gone Baby Gone", but this film seemed to take way to many cues from Heat and other Michael Mann films. IMO. What did you guys think?

SSJ3 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I haven't seen it just yet, but I'm planning to. The reviews I've seen say it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFZ Scrubs Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 UGHHH! I hate that i don't check my email, i had a free screening pass for the 14th and i never checked my email! This movie looks so good, i want to watch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WartyHogger Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Going to see it tomorrow after I sign up for my classes for the fall semester. I'm dying to see this, mainly because of my no homo man crush on Jon Hamm. But it really does look like a great flick, it got good reviews. Can't wait to see it.

SSJ3 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is Gone Baby Gone worth watching, some reviews I've seen said this film is just like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxBlueSpade2xX Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Is Gone Baby Gone worth watching, some reviews I've seen said this film is just like it. I thought Gone Baby Gone was a really underrated film. The Town isn't at all like it, except it's based in a working class part of Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damtalldylan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I thought Gone Baby Gone was a really underrated film. The Town isn't at all like it, except it's based in a working class part of Boston. This was a great movie. And it's about my town. I live near all the places. (Flower shop, laundromat, ironside bar, fenway, cambridge bank) I know guys like in the movie. They all hang out at the shit hole bar down the street from me. There are a TON of bank/ armored car robberies in the boston area every year. AND i've heard alot of people with boston accents 100x stronger than affleck's. So much so its hard to understand wat there saying. Best line in movie- "All you care about is coke and xbox" Edited September 22, 2010 by damtalldylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Doug Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 LMAO can't wait to hear that line. Yeah, that was particularly pointed for me. Seeing the Town with a buddy was my break from whorin' for the night during GSL. Decent movie, though, not brilliant (no self respecting Bostonian would even consider having a gun fight anywhere near Fenway), but a decent movie.

Tussell Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The movie is absolutely phenomenal and I recommend it to anyone! It seemed very reminiscent to the atmosphere of the movie 'Four Brothers', which I absolutely love as well. Ben Affleck did a great job directing and acting, as did the other supporting actors. It's definitely an 'edge-of-your-seat' action movie. Good times! One of the best movies in the past five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run BMP Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Saw it last night - thought it was amazing. Better than Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironpunisher200 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I was thoroughly impressed by it. Ben Affleck is a great director, and Jeremy Renner did the best out of all the actors. In terms of crime drama, I'd say The Departed still has the upper hand on this- but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarperBird Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thought the acting was good and another good film by Ben Affleck but the story itself was really slow i felt and it never really got going for me and there was loads of talking and not enough bank robbing but hey thats my opinion!

darthroker29 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Definitely a good movie. I can't believe Blake lively was such a whore. She plays a good whore though. Never expected good acting from a CW star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1000013 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Is this the film with Chris Brown in it? I swear it was this film. Looks good though, I'll wait till I can find a better copy though, if you know what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that's Takers I think OT: I thought the film was pretty good, but i just found Ben Affleck funny when he was trying to be tough. It's a good film nonetheless and i would recommend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashos Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought it was a great movie. I live near Boston and I have some friends who are originally from Charlestown who still have an accent and Affleck definitely did not go overboard with it. One of my friends' dad actually grew up right next to the cemetery that is in one of the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
