      "The Town"--The Robber Story In The City

      [The Thief in the City] The Town is another commercial operation after Ben Affleck's [Missing Baby] Gone Baby Gone, and it is worth mentioning that it is also a popular one in Boston. movies of that type. From the opening aerial view of the film to the speeding car chase in the alleys of the city, from the two protagonists, Doug MacRay (Ben A.) and James Coughlin (Jeremy Renner), taking the dude out in the middle of the night...

      like every bland sunny day

      This is a crime movie with a flat plot and emotional line.
      Before the exam week, I watched the first half, and felt that it was basically unbearable. After the exam week, in order to quickly read it and delete it to save memory, I forced myself to interrupt the second half of Game of Thrones.
      But after reading it and listening to Ken Hirai's "Confession", I felt like I wanted to write something.
      This is a film directed and acted by Ben Affleck. Affleck looks like a classmate....

      have letter

      It is not bad for a person to believe, although he may be wrong in many cases.

      For example, if you believe in God, at least you are religious.
      For example, if you believe in Buddhism, at least you are compassionate.
      For example, if you believe in Allah, at least you will give up your life.

      Any kind of sublime or slight belief brings power.
      Of course, this kind of power, the distinction between good and evil, is another matter.

      But believe nothing,...

      Xiaoben is really tall, handsome and rich, and everyone in it is set off by him. = =

      I have always heard that this is a
      highly rated film directed and acted by Xiaoben,
      but I didn't particularly want to watch
      it. Then I heard that there was Jeremy. I
      quickly watched it. I

      have to say that Xiaoben is really handsome and rich
      , and everyone in it is set off by him. He 's so round,
      especially Jeremy, who is always with him. . .

      In fact,

      I really appreciate the character of jim . He has a
      lot of personality...

      The Town

      After watching so many independently produced art films, it is time for us to change our tastes, hehe.

      This film is a crime film written, directed and acted by Ben Affleck.

      I met Ben in "Pearl Harbor", and this time I was impressed by him. He is talented, has acting skills, tells the story well, and is definitely a model of excellent acting and directing.

      The rhythm of the whole film is Zhang Youchi, and the characters are full and real, whether it is a loving and...

      The plot of this film is just as protracted and bland as it is itself. Several men rob the bank, and the elements of dog-blood love always make people feel that the heat is not enough, and it does not hurt or itch. A man buried money under sunflower flowers, missing the woman he loves somewhere in isolation. His brother died under the FBI's gunfire, drinking Coke that others had left on the side of the road before he died. We are the fallen angels of Charles City, born for hijacking, already...

      One star for the self-directed, self-written and self-acted, but why does it feel like depp's public enemy, the biggest highlight seems to be that the pustular police grandpa turned his head and pretended not to see it, the whole audience laughed, the actors all played too ordinary, The heroine is not as beautiful as the Midnight Barcelon, I always feel that the last girl actually recognized him from the beginning but didn't say it, maybe it's more...

    Movie plot

    In the eastern United States, Charles City, located in the suburbs of Boston, is like a lost paradise forgotten by the legal system. The Irish working class in the city accounted for a large proportion. The poor living conditions in the region and the unrespiteable pressure made people take risks. Bank robberies occurred from time to time, and everything became mad and hopeless.
    One morning, four bank thieves tried to rob a bank in...

    Evaluation action

    The film fully mobilized the interest of the target audience, namely young men. The police films are interspersed with graceful love stories, chivalrous, soft, hard and soft, and also attract a large number of romantic female audiences. The strong story foundation of "Robbers in the City" also undoubtedly distinguishes the film from other crime movies. Ben Affleck's outstanding performance in screenwriting has once again been fully...

    Movie quotes

    • [as Doug, Dez, Coughlin, and Gloansy have a small gathering, Frawley and Dino take photos of them from their car with a long-range camera]

      Dino Ciampa: [voice-over] Desmond Elden. Systems tech at Vericom. 22 years old.

      [Cuts to Frawley and Dino briefing their agents. They bring up Gloansy's images on the projector]

      Dino Ciampa: Albert Magloan. Only in Boston is a guy named "Albert Magloan".

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: Mr. Magloan never met a car he couldn't boost. The kind of talented individual who can start your Cherokee for you while you're still looking for your keys.

      [as he says that, a black-and-white flashback is shown of Gloansy breaking into a car. Coughlin's mugshot comes up on the projector]

      Dino Ciampa: James Coughlin. Father was killed in prison. Mother died HIV. Shot Brendan Leahey by the cemetery behind Mishawum when he was eighteen years old. Bled it out. When the judge asked him why he did it, he said, "I didn't like the kid." Served nine years for manslaughter.

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: These guys plan and execute with sophistication and discipline, and that is not our boy Coughlin.

      [produces photos of Doug]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: We think the architect is this guy: Coughlin's best friend, Doug MacRay.

      Dino Ciampa: He lives in the same house, dated Coughlin's sister, who most likely mules to the Florist, who used to employ MacRay's father. You need a fucking venn diagram for these people.

      [Stifled chuckles come from the agents]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: Mac, Senior got life for the Nashwood job which most of you should remember. Hijacked a bread truck up to New Hampshire. One guard saw his face, so, they executed both of them with their own weapons. I think Mac's legacy is now no A-car driver's allowed to leave the cab, even if there's a gun to his partner's head.

      Dino Ciampa: Young MacRay did eight months easy for going over the counter of a Bay Bank with a nail gun after he washed out from pro hockey.

      Agent Quinlan: Pro hockey?

      Dino Ciampa: Yeah. He was a big deal for a minute. Got drafted, went to camp but here's the shocker: he started makin' trouble, fightin' with guys.

      Agent Quinlan: Don't they pay you to fight in hockey?

      Dino Ciampa: Not the guys on your own team.

      [the other FBI agents laugh]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: MacRay came home. Got into the family business. Same song: got into Oxycon. Hockey ship sailed with the narcotics. Now, we're a long way away from a grand jury here. And we'll never get 24 hour surveillance unless one of these idiots converts to Islam. So we build the case. All right, let's get to work.

    • [Doug is in the FBI interrogation room when Frawley comes in]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: You and your boys didn't just roll a star market over in Malden for a box of quarters. No, you decided to bang it out at The North End at nine o'clock in the morning with assault rifles. You fucking dummies shot a guard. Now you look like half off sales big and tall, every cop is in line. Fortunately though, for you, this guard who is two thirds from retard has miraculously clung to life. Now, if it were up to me and they gave me two minutes and a wet towel, I would personally asphyxiate this half wit so we can string you up on a federal M-1. End of story with a bag on your head and paralyzing agent running through your veins. This isn't fucking Townie hopscotch anymore, Doug. But I did wanna say one thing.

      [he leans over the table and looks Doug right in the eye]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: You're here today so that I can personally tell you that you're gonna die in federal prison and so are all your friends. No deal, no compromise. And when that day comes and when you start trying to be my hero collaborator so hard that I have to slap you to shut up, and it will come, despite your pitiable misguided Irish 'Omerta'. When your code of silence finally gives way, the fear of trafficking and cigarettes to prevent sexual enslavement... I just want you to know that it's gonna be me who tells you to fuck yourself.

    • FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: You used to hang around with Doug MacRay a little bit, huh?

      Krista Coughlin: How do you know Dougy?

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: We sorta worked together.

      Krista Coughlin: Sand and Gravel?

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: No. No.

      [pulls out some money]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: You a pretty decent judge of size?

      Krista Coughlin: Depends. Size of what?

      [Frawley holds up some money]

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: How big would you say this is? Six inches? Over or under.

      Krista Coughlin: Under.

      FBI S.A. Adam Frawley: Wrong. 6.14 inches exactly. I know everything there is to know about money. Thickness? 0.0043 inches. Weight? About one gram. Which is interesting because that means that this twenty dollar bill isn't even worth its own weight... in oxy.
