Whatever you say about Ben Affleck as an actor you can't deny Gone Baby Gone was a finely crafted piece of cinema. His directorial follow-up (in which he also casts himself) is another Boston-set crime drama, although this time it concerns bank robberies rather than child abductions. Really nice supporting cast and solidy exciting trailer make this one to add to my calendar.
The Town opens on 24 September 2010.

Ben--Seems like I haven't written on here for a while....glad to be back, and thank you, too, for your visits and comments...
I, too, am looking forward to seeing this movie.
You know, I rather enjoy Ban Affleck as an actor...he is dynamite in the right roles...but he has made some bad choices. I liked him a lot in GOOD WILL HUNTING, and he was really interesting in CHASING AMY.
I think he has a good future as a director, and would like to see him try some lighter material soon....
Ben Affleck's career is rather odd - on the one hand he's appeared in some great movies with some spoton performances but generally he'd ridiculed or those bad choices you mention.
I'm not sure I want to see anything lighter from him when he's doing so well with the criminal underclass.
