I had not been to the movies in some time, but after seeing the preview for The Town and that is was directed by Ben Affleck, who had done Gone Baby Gone, which I loved, I decided to return to the theater. And I am happy to say, I was not disappointed. The Town is a mix of action and drama, with a great cast and story to match. The story does not tread on any new ground, but it flows well and is driven by a strong cast. Ben does a great job of separating the action moments and the drama, so that both feel authentic and don't distract from the other. At over two hours, you don't even notice the time pass as the pacing keeps you interested. There are no real edge of your seat moments, just a well told story with great characters who all play their parts extremely well.
