This is the Pure Movies review of The Town, directed by Ben Affleck and also starring Blake Lively, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Pete Postlethwaite, Rebecca Hall, Chris Cooper, Slaine, Brian Scannell and Ed O'Keefe. The Town does well when it isn’t trying too hard to be a serious crime drama in the Shawshank Redemption mould (the ending is a blatant ‘homage’ to that particular film), and gets on with the cat-and mouse thrills of stealing, driving cars very fast away from cops, and shouting about the hardships of prison life. It’s all done well, especially considering just how much work Affleck put into this one feature, but The Town never quite pushes beyond its genre trappings. It’s a good heist movie, with a strong sense of identity, but not much more than that.

Chicago – Only three years since the Chicago Film Critics Association awarded Ben Affleck as our most promising filmmaker, he’s back in the director’s seat a second time with “The Town”. While the film dramatically centers on the business of robbery in his familiar streets of Boston, Affleck importantly proves that his 2007 Oscar-nominated film “Gone Baby Gone” wasn’t just beginner’s luck.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Affleck’s success with “Gone Baby Gone” as a writer and director has not only been duplicated three years later but actually hones his ability to act. When Ben Affleck is playing the role of the filmmaker on subject matter he cares about most, we now see two examples of films that literally are made because he’s monopolizing the most important elements of their creation.
Though the hardcore dramatic style of “The Town” is very similar to “Gone Baby Gone,” there’s just a...

This is the first trailer for The Town, directed by Ben Affleck and also starring Blake Lively, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Pete Postlethwaite, Rebecca Hall, Chris Cooper, Slaine, Brian Scannell and Ed O'Keefe. Doug MacRay 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.

We've suspected the bad news for months but now, it's been confirmed that the Brotherhood series has indeed been cancelled by Showtime.
Brotherhood revolves around the lives of two brothers in an Irish-American neighborhood in Rhode Island. Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke) is a family man and local politician while his brother Michael (Jason Isaacs) is a professional criminal who's involved with the Irish mob. Others in the cast of this gritty drama include Kevin Chapman, Annabeth Gish, Fiona C. Erickson, Brian Scannell, Kerry O'Malley, Fionnula Flanagan, Madison Garland, Billy Smith, Frank Ridley, Matt Servitto, Ethan Embry, Brian F. O'Byrne, Tina Benko, and John Fiore.
The series debuted on Showtime on July 9, 2006 and, despite some very positive reviews, Brotherhood didn't attract a lot of viewers; just 450,000. Showtime nevertheless renewed the show for a second season -- albeit one made up of only 10 episodes. They started airing in September of 2007 and the...
