\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to see “The Town<\/a>” in the movies on weekend. \u00a0Too bad my experience was spoiled by the total failure of surround sound in the cinema and by a power cut due to the thunderstorm, two minutes before the end of the movie. \u00a0But I still liked the movie so much that I downloaded a copy and watched it in the comfort of my own home (really, are there any other options left?).<\/p>\n

Before I say anything else, I have to do a disclosure. \u00a0I am biased here. \u00a0Crime is one of my favorite movie genres in general, and bank robberies, con artists, and heist schemes are among my top interests in movies.<\/p>\n

With that, I am now free to say how awesome this movie was. \u00a0First of all, it’s a great story with great characters. \u00a0Not particularly original, but still great. \u00a0It got a slightly screwed up ending, but by now we should be probably get used to them anyway. \u00a0Still. \u00a0There is plenty to see – action, acting, drama, tough guys, car chases, gun fights, hot girls, Boston accent, and more.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’ll give it a 5 out of 5<\/strong>. \u00a0But you still remember, that I’m biased, right?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
