關於這部電影

This extended cut version includes 26 minutes of additional footage not seen in theaters! Ben Affleck follows his acclaimed "Gone Baby Gone" directorial debut by directing, co-writing and starring in a taut thriller about robbers and cops, friendship and betrayal, love and hope and escaping a past that has no future. He plays Doug MacRay, leader of a Boston bank robber gang but not cut from the same cloth as his fellow thieves. When Doug falls into a passionate romance with the bank manager (Rebecca Hall) briefly taken hostage in their last heist, he wants out of this life and out of the town. As the Feds close in and the crew questions his loyalty, he has one of two choices: betray his friends or lose the woman he loves. Featuring: Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Titus Welliver, Pete Postlethwaite and Chris Cooper.

評分和評論

If you have to see The T own, you need to see this version. I saw the Theatrical cut years ago and the original Extended cut, but this new version had an ending that fit the film much better than the original. It totally caught me off-guard and offered a better conclusion to the entire film. As for the film itself, what's not to like? Heists, chases, shootouts, tension, everything you come to expect from a great film in the crime/suspense genre. Ben Affleck is at his best, not to be seen again until Argo and Gone Girl. He masterfully directs this film and provides a likable and sympathetic character in Doug Macray. Jeremy Renner provides and even more powerful performance as Jem, Doug's best friend and criminal partner. I hated his character but this film is one of Renner's best performances(in my opinion). Jon Hamm, Blake Lively and Rebecca Hall also turn in roles that allow this film to flow smoothly and provide drama, emotion and best of all, closure to the film at the end, especially in the aforementioned New Extended cut. In short, this is a film worth seeing at least once, but do yourself a favor and see the extended cut. The theatrical cut does NOT do this film justice.

Incredible film... Ben Affleck definitely brought his A-Game as both an actor and director; the other actors didn't disappoint either. Very well written plot, and each scene successfully manages to smoothly transition to the next. The grit of this movie will make you appreciate it more IMO, and the romantic aspect may even make you shed a tear. The best of both worlds in 150 minutes.

I don't normally like a lot of Ben Afflek films but this one takes the cake. His talent really shines through as both an actor and director. I'm starting to blame his agent because he's the type of actor who needs to challenge himself otherwise his boredom shows through. I wish I would of watched this sooner.
