Actor, writer and director Ben Affleck more than redeems himself with this thriller. After a bank robbery, one of the robbers falls in love with the female hostage which leads him to reevaluate his life including his friends and family. While it's a competent crime thriller, the film succeeds more in the conflicts of its characters at the heart of this drama. Affleck continues to improve as a director as well as an actor along with a terrific cast and crew. Affleck scored big time with the casting of Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Renner and Jon Hamm who all deliver outstanding performances in this ensemble including Pete Postlethwaite, Blake Lively and Chris Cooper.
