Solid crime drama. The heist scenes are riveting and acting is good all-around. Well done, Mr. Affleck.

A movie that succeeds on all levels - acting, directing, writing, etc. A dream cast helped with strong material and Ben Affleck's steady hand at directing are all highlights of the action/crime drama. Not only does Affleck succeed as a director, it's his best acting and role in years, and he's supported by great turns from Jeremy Renner and Jon Hamm. One of the best of the year, hands down.

This movie features Ben Affleck as director and lead actor in a complicated drama about a career bank robber that falls in love with a women he just took hostage. The plot is fantastic and keeps you glued to the screen. All of the actors, including Affleck, are wonderfully cast in their roles and are very good. While watching the movie, the viewer becomes a part of Charlstown and gets a real feel for what life there is like. This is the 1st movie I've seen this year that I've given 5-stars to, and I did so with good reason. It's the best film I've seen in 2010.
