THE TOWN SYNOPSIS AND CAST

Doug (Ben Affleck), a resident of Charlestown, leads a gang of thieves on a
regular heist. But things go haywire when Doug finds out that the hostage was
from the same town. This leads to introspection and cracks between the gang as
Doug and his brother-like friend James have different opinions.

victims and wants to change his life. Money Heist

fans will also enjoy The Town as the story involves a heist. There is no such
thing as too much star power. Thus, the casting directors of The Town added some
big stars to the movie:

 * Ben Affleck as Doug MacRay
 * Rebecca Hall as Claire Keesey
 * Jeremy Renner as James Coughlin
 * Blake Lively as Krista Coughlin
 * Jon Hamm as FBI SA Adam Frawley

Ben Affleck was last seen in Triple Red Frontier. Netflix has also been late in
acquiring the rights to The Town as the movie was released on September 17,
2010.

Deborah Ross from The Spectator
[https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/identity-crisis-] says: “So this isn’t
fresh, exactly, but it is tense and exciting and well performed and you do end
up caring about the people you’ve been manipulated into caring about.”

Roger Ebert [https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-town-2010] says: “The Town
Affleck’s second film as a director wants to do something more, to make a
biographical and even philosophical statement about the culture of crime, but it
doesn’t do that as successfully.”
