Plot Synopsis:

Princeton grad student Richie (Justin Timberlake), believing he’s been swindled, travels to Costa Rica to confront online gambling tycoon Ivan Block (Ben Affleck). Richie is seduced by Block’s promise of immense wealth, until he learns the disturbing truth about his benefactor. When the FBI tries to coerce Richie to help bring down Block, Richie faces his biggest gamble ever: attempting to outmaneuver the two forces closing in on him.

I saw this movie with a friend of mine who grew up around the area where it takes place in, and he declared this to be the “best Boston movie ever.” I’m not in a position to verify that as I have visited Boston when I was young but have never actually lived there. But with this coming from a guy who spent his childhood in the same area and made hundreds of visits to Fenway Park, that’s pretty high praise which cannot be ignored.

With “The Town,” an adaptation of Chuck Hogan’s novel “Prince of Thieves,” Ben Affleck proves what should have been clear to us after his directorial debut “Gone Baby Gone”; he is truly an excellent director with a strong understanding of Boston and the surrounding areas. Ben also succeeds in giving us one of his very best performances while surrounding himself with a strong cast of talented actors. It seems like everyone was out for Affleck’s blood not too long ago, but now he has the last laugh on the haters as his career continues to head into a very successful second act.
