My Review
:
The long time thirst for a quality bank heist film has been quenched. Ben Affleck has given his best after a long journey of flops.The film is a balanced slow paced action/thriller movie. The story happens at charlestown which has the highest number of bank heists and robberies in the country.DOUG MCRAY(Ben Afleck) is a part of a heist gang. The intelligent MCRAY falls for woman(Rebecca Hall) who is the manager of the bank that he heisted before. He hides his identity to her and her's to his crew. Then comes the FBI Agent Frawley(John Hamm), a Heist cracker who looks into d case of Mcray's heists. The cat-mouse chase between Hamm and Affleck adds flavour to the film and the last 30 minutes of the film is where the film reaches its best. Ben Affeleck has given a good performance along with Hamm and Hall. The screenplay and the direction was awesome.

My Rating: 8.2/10

Recommendations:
Must Watch it!!!
