The Town - Extended Cut (2010) ***

The Town (2010) is decent and entertaining, if not overhyped. The heist scenes were good. A bit too much of a cross between Heat (1995) (Affleck's character even watches a scene from that film in this film) and The Departed (2006) though, and not in the same league as either of those greats. Titus Welliver has the best Boston accent. Nice to see Jon Hamm in something other than Mad Men (2007-2015). And it's a bit surreal to see a shoot-out filmed outside the McDonald's on Boylston St.
