Ben’s new flick is called The Town. Set in Boston, it tells the tale of a professional thief (Affleck) who falls for a bank manager while evading a tenacious FBI agent looking to catch him and his crew before they pull another heist. Ben has assembled another amazing cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively and Chris Cooper. The plot resembles a combination of Heat and Point Break. Not sure how that will play out, but the trailer looks solid. Could this be the movie that snaps Ben’s lengthy losing streak? We shall see. The Town opens September 17th.Back in 2007, Ben Affleck made his directorial debut with Gone Baby Gone. The movie didn’t blow me away, but I was very impressed with Affleck’s skill behind the lens. His blocking was on point and he coaxed some great performances from his actors — most notably little bro Casey and the Oscar nominated Amy Ryan.
