TOWN

Normally I don't really mess with movies starring Ben Affleck.  Can't put my finger on it but I don't really feel his work  With that said this is his best work, to me.  Don't ask what about Good Will Hunting. I never seen it and never wanted to to be honest, just never grabbed me as something I wanted to watch.  I kinda stay away from those band wagon feel good everybody loves it inspirational type movies. To me that shit is corny.  But I might check it one day.  But I digress.

This is a good movie.  It carries on in a predictable manner but its far better than your average movie as it progresses.  Ben Affleck and his cohorts are a wild bunch of thieving muthafuckas in a town.  You learn this from tha beginning when they are robbing a bank.  A bank?  Thats right! A bank!




They are in this bank and there is a girl (asst mgr) they ask to assist them in the process and one thing leads to another they end up up kidnapping this broad.  Sucks for her but it was her won damn fault as they kidnapped her because the cops were alerted via silent alarm that this sneaky ass girl set off in the bank whilst the robber were tending to somewhat more important robber shit. HAHA (in a Nelson voice) is what I said when I seen her ass get selected for the hostage.  If she would laid her ass down and let the robbers take the money and go on their way uninterrupted then she woulda been left there.


Oh yeah the robber have a police scanner with them when they are doing there work so they know if the cops are hip whilst (don't ask why) hitting that lick.


They end up taking her ID. She lucky they didn't kill her ass.  So one of the robbers, who I will call the gangsta one, has the ID and sees this broad stays in the same neighborhood as them.  Now he is thinking about stalking her/offing her.  Okay the brain, which is Affleck, takes over tha situation and he will do the stalking as the gangsta one seems to be a hothead.


Fast-forward,  Affleck comes across this broad(the asst mgr) he is stalking and falls for her crying in a laundromat.  Big time simping and some other sucker shit.  He is now kicking it with her and in love.  She is getting questioned by the FBI after the robbery and his dumb ass then falls in love with her.


IDK that was the dumbest shit to me and about this time in the movie I started to write this movie off on some simping shit and was counting down for that one simp ass move to come back and bite him in the ass.  And it did, believe that it did.   But the following events and twists in the story is what made the movie for me.


You get to learn more about Afflecks character which wasn't corny at all. Situations with his dad and mom and local mob/crime boss played by a face I recognized from Usual Suspects (Kobayashi).


Now the FBI get up on Affleck and his crew and find out??? that's right this dude is now fucking with the assistant manager they had open the vault in the opening bank robbery.  So the play on this girl and persuade her and get her to play this dude she recently feel in love with who's been lying to her, Affleck, into coming to her and a shitload of FBI agents waiting to arrest his ass.  And then you wonder... Is this dude finna take his dumb ass over there?  IDK he has been developing a history of simping throughout the movie. And then........


And then you see the movie yourself for the end.  Good Movie not disappointing.  Good acting cast and direction by Ben Affleck who also did some writing as well.  Check it out.
