"ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF THE YEAR"
-Leonard Maltin, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT

As he plans a job that could result in his gang's biggest score ever, a longtime thief plans a way out of the life and the the town while dodging the FBI agent looking to bring him and his bank-robbing crew down. In addition to heading an electrifying cast, Ben Affleck als directed and co-wrote this suspenseful and critically acclaimed crime thriller that unfolds - and often explodes - across grity Boston locations. Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Titus Welliver, Pet Postlethwaite and Chris Cooper also star.


My Comments:

Given that this movie features Ben Affleck in both the lead role and as the movie's director, I fully expected not to like it. But the tight performances and engaging plot won me over.
