Ein solider Film, bei dem mich aber ein paar unlogische Dinge (der Held hat nie erfahren, was mit seiner Mutter passiert ist), ein paar Klischees und ein zu märchenhaftes Ende gestört haben. Außerdem hat mir Gone, Baby, Gone - Kein Kinderspiel viel mehr gefallen. Und es war ein Film, über den ich lange nachdenken musste. The Town - Stadt ohne Gnade hat bei weitem keine so große Auswirkung. Ben Affleck ist aber ein wirklich guter Regisseur. Besonders wenn es um Action geht, leistet er professionelle Arbeit.

Eine Schulversion vom erwachsenen Heat. Ausgezeichnet besetzt und gespielt, sehr schön aufgenommen. Aber ein unglaubliches Klischee.

It is more than obvious that this is Affleck looking up in awe at Mann’s Heat. And it is already clear that he definitely has the talent to film a similar, timeless masterpiece. The Town is not yet that masterpiece, not even in the extended version (I haven’t seen the regular one, but I certainly wouldn’t cut even a minute off the longer one). For that this is too much of a Heat beta version 0.5, but... But this is the only negative I can think of.

We’ve seen this scheme many times before, and sometimes better (at one point even the main character watches "the" bit on TV), but I like Affleck's sympathetic direction, which doesn't rush the archetypal characters through the plot, but without unnecessary subterfuge, matter-of-factly, and engagingly. The fact that at times it is too tightly gripped in the clenches of tired templates is unfortunate, especially in the moments when the more adept viewer can guess the next steps of the characters before they do. Regardless, that certain old-fashioned style only serves it well. I’m looking forward to Affleck's next film immensely.

A melancholic and technically flawless crime drama. The script is not as smart as the script of the masterpiece of the genre, Heat (but I’d rather not compare The Town with it, they are completely different), but it’s still much better than this year’s competition, which is nice. I didn’t like Ben Affleck in the main role so much (I think Jeremy Renner was more charismatic), but he did a great job as director (for instance, I haven’t seen a better car chase this year). In general, I have a problem rooting for the evil characters in films like this, and it was similar in this case. Emotionally, only the last few minutes touched me. It was nice to watch, but it didn’t surprise me at all. In short, a nice, satisfactory thriller, but nothing to write home about. Weak four stars.
