movie review - The Town

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.07.15

This is an interesting bank heist movie that takes the unusual step of showing you the back-story of the robbers. This makes the social castes and prevalence of syndicate crime in Boston very clear. It's an action film but not a stupid one and I enjoyed it.

Recommended.
