Mohamed Abdalla This is a movie about a group of thieves in a town of bad history about thieves, and of course we see their interactions to the surrounding community, the police and the victims of their heists.But the story is not the core here as it's very simple related to other heist related movies, however the excellency of this movie stems from paying much attention to the details; the details in the accent of "Charlestown" citizens, the details in the costumes which made for us that unforgettable scene of the robbing nuns, the details in making such strong plot with the least weak points.The length of the movie is a little bit extended without any good reason, it starts well with a great action scene then the rhythm goes up and down till you reach the end which may not be liked by a lot.The performance of the actors is really great and you see them in new characters and they nailed it specially "Ben Affleck" & "Jeremy Renner". On the other hand, "Rebecca Hall" & "Blake Lively" could do better and "Jon Hamm" didn't fit that much in the role.Finally, it's a nice crime/drama movie that the director -who is "Ben Affleck"- paid much attention to everything except for the thrill which could be added in a bigger amount here,you will enjoy it till the end if you overcome some boring moments.

lindseyholy7 This was absolutely exceptional. That's all you really need to know.

ej_blackburn Title says it all. Hugely underrated film. Affleck and Renner were phenomenal as we're Hamm, Lively, Posthlewaite, and the entire ensemble. When Fergie (Posthlewaite) delivers the sickening truth about Doug's (Affleck's) mother's demise, you couldn't help but gasp and feel the burning anger growing in Doug, wishing he would rip Fergie's head right off his shoulders for his smug, heartless and evil coldness. It was at that moment that I was fully on board and rooting for Doug to survive. I would happily go back and watch the original 4 hour cut if I could...

joneskevin-29683 This is a very entertaining bank robber movie, with pretty solid acting and action scenes. However, I dock it three stars because Rebecca Hall's character is so boring! Rebecca Hall is "miss perfect" and has zero sexual chemistry with Ben Affleck, which makes the romance scenes boring as hell to watch. Ah what a cheese fest! On the flip side, Blake Lively gives a terrific performance as a drug addicted Mother, and her smooching scene with Ben Affleck is top notch. 7/10
