Just saw The Town Vol. LATEPASS

[Deleted member 38182]

Right when I saw the trailer, I automatically assumed this flick was gonna be a piece of garbage.... My gf convinced me to watch it with her a few weeks ago and boy was I wrong. This movie was great. I would give it a solid 7 maybe 8 outta 10.

 

[rhythmentality]

Loved it.
 
I'm a bit biased though, since heist films are one of my favorite types of stories.
 
 
 
But no way would it deserve a nomination for Best Picture.

never hated on affleck, and this movie redeemed him in everybodies eyes that tried to tell me to do so.

 

[doosta45]

male version of "set it off"

movie btw!

 

[finessesosa]

Also i hated how the movie ended. Felt like there was something missing.

-Gloansy lives
-James Coughlin commits suicide by detonating multiple grenades on himself
-Desmond (much more fleshed out in book) lives after firing towards the police (though is shot multiple times).  Pulling them away and saving them from the grenades James detonates.
- Doug is mortaly wounded while killing Fergie.  He goes to Claire's house bleeding to death where he confeses his love and how they should move away together.  However he realizes she had never intended to leave with him.  Frawley shows up and Doug dies looking into Claire's eyes.

That summary looks so familiar...haha
The book ending is far more "real world" which gives it an emotional pull that I didn't get from the fairytale movie ending.

I didn't have any expectations going into the movie but I came out surprised. Definitely one of the high notes of last year.

Yeah I get you. Especially when Affleck was eating dinner with the girl then his homie with the tattoo shows up out of nowhere @#$# was intense cause you were just praying that the girl didn't see the tat

I was mad as @#$# when dude couldn't kill the cop at the end though. Like son you're on top of a car, you have a clear shot at dude who is CRAWLING

Movie was good. Enjoyed watching Rebecca Hall.

 

[kb8sandiego]

Absolutely loved this movie.

 

[chris82790]

Good movie but not worth seeing multiple times.

 

[quaz]

Legit movie, I just watched it for the first time this week.

 

[dajondondo]

Owen Burke did his thangggg 

 

[its that dude]

what?? movie sucked @**.

everything was so predictable.

 

[ignantbliss]

JEREMY RENNER WAS BOUT THAT LIFE

 

[stickyfingaz20]

I enjoyed it bus basically

the Town=Set It Off w/white dudes instead of black chicks

 

[capo617]

Great movie. That flower shop is about 4 blocks from me

.

 

[tillmatic]

+%#% was weak

 

[Betonblck]

It was ok. No way it is better than or even close to Inception. Inception had an amazing soundtrack, cinematography, and original story.

The love story between Aflack(sp?) and the woman felt forced. They just didn't seem to have good on screen chemistry. Also was too much like Set it Off.

loved it when i first watched..then bought the dvd and noticed it wasnt that great
