Ben Affleck To Direct Jon Hamm And Rebecca Hall In New Film

Ben Affleck was able to coax 'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm into a film set in the modern day alongside Rebecca Hall. Ben will direct and act in the romantic crime thriller 'The Town.'

An adaptation of the Chuck Hogan novel "Prince of Thieves," the
story follows the relationship between a bank manager, the career
criminal (Affleck) who stole more than her heart and the dedicated
FBI agent trying to bust the crook and his gang.

Hamm is playing the FBI agent. Hall is the reason the criminal
wants to clean up his act but also is the agent's golden ticket to
catching the man."

Does this sound like something worth trudging out to the theater, renting, or a pass?

(Just FYI: those pictures of Ben are of him filming 'The Company Men' in Boston earlier this summer.)

I usually just wait. The only movie I've seen in the theater in the last year is Transformers. ;)

Ben is lame. He is only good at talking about him and j.lo relationship and balming it on her. He is a loser with a capital L.

I might check it out as a rental. While I like Hamm, and Affleck directing, BA as an actor puts me off.

There are very few movies that I take the effort to see in theaters, and this doesn't seem to be one of them. I'll probably try to remember to rent it, though. I like Ben Affleck.
