The Town

I finally saw Ben Affleck's The Town. It's definitely one of my top ten favorite movies directed by Ben Affleck. I really did enjoy it, but I found myself thinking over and over, "Haven't I seen this already?" It's not a good sign when I leave a movie trying to come up with a this-meets-that which adequately describes it. In this case I was thinking something like Heat meets Good Will Hunting. It has common character arcs with both. And both are in my all-time top ten list, but originality is what makes a movie great, which is why Inception is my favorite movie of the year, followed by Scott Pilgrim.
