I went out and watched the movie The Town last night staring Ben Affleck and Donald Draper from Mad Men. The movie simply is about a group of guys who rob banks and armored trucks while the FBI (Donald Draper) try to catch them. The movie is also directed by Ben Affleck and I think he did a kick ass job. I had already watched the other movie he directed, Gone Baby Gone and thought he brought his own style into it and he did the same thing here. I would easily pay to watch another movie by him. One scene in the movie reminded me of the amazing street battle in the movie Heat so that should give you an idea of how cool this movie is.
Two more movies I need to watch on this trip, Due Date and Social Network.

Heat? really? i should reconsider about it then
4 bad guys + big guns + lots of cops + streets filled with cars and people = good movie 😉
I’m sure he’d be thrilled to be referred to as “starring Donald Draper”
😀
Come on Mark… Jon Hamm (aka Mad Men’s Donald Draper)… show the guy some respect!
Sorry but I’m a huge Donald Draper fan boy
I saw this movie yesterday and was amazing!!!…it’s a must see for people who like gun fights. I was also surprised that one of the robbers was using an AKS (just like the one osama uses).
Due Date and The Social Network are both great movies and u definitely should watch them!
But comparing The Town to Heat.. Really? It wasn’t bad but it would have been a lot better if he had left the directing to someone else. And lol why aren’t you using Don’s real name.. Jon Hamm
I never compared The Town to Heat. I said there was one scene in the movie that reminded me of the street battle scene in Heat.
Since you’re in Beirut watch Due Date because it would be censored in Kuwait indeed, I laughed my ass off. you’d love it!
The Social Network is pretty good, you should catch it
which is better the town or the social network ?
hello ..
mark can u give us grades from 10 for this movie so that we can have the decision to go or not .
