Town, The – A Movie Review

September 18, 2010 John Action, Ben Affleck, Blake Lively, Chris Cooper, Crime, Drama, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Pete Postlethwaite, Rebecca Hall, Titus Welliver

Doug MacRay is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly took a hostage–bank manager, Claire Keesey. Though they let her go unharmed, Claire is nervously aware that the robbers know her name and where she lives. But she lets her guard down when she meets an unassuming and rather charming man named Doug not realizing that he is the same man who only days earlier had terrorized her. The instant attraction between them gradually turns into a passionate romance that threatens to take them both down a dangerous, and potentially deadly, path.

Rock N Rolla – A Movie Review

January 31, 2009 John Action, Comedy, Crime, Gangster, Gerard Butler, Guy Ritchie, Tom Wilkinson

A Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal, putting millions of dollars up for grabs and attracting all of London’s criminal underworld. Lay and I watched this movie last night on DVD. I admit I was tired, and didn’t give it my full attention. One of my complaints was that the British accents were so heavy, it was hard to follow, but at least the Director was probably being true to the location.
