The Town

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

Ben Affleck has been out of action for almost a decade now. While Matt Damon has gone onto become one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Affleck's career has taken a backseat.

However, with Gone Baby Gone and now The Town - the Affleck is back!

Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang's latest job, when they briefly took a hostage - bank manager, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall).

Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name... and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug... not realising that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.

This looks like it could be brilliant - Oscar worthy? We'll have to wait and see.
