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 never thought they would last this long.
LOVE him from Mad Men
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.
Rent
probably rent but i would have to see the previews first.
I just saw Ben in person at the Mohegan Sun casino filming. Not there for long but it was definately Ben wearing his Boston Jacket!
Are you kidding? I’m on board with anything Jon Hamm does!
Renting…maybe.
I usually just wait. The only movie I’ve seen in the theater in the last year is Transformers.
I’ll definitely see it! Ben did an amazing job with Gone Baby Gone and I always love Jon Hamm.
i love jon hamm in mad men
he makes the show … i might not go to a theater… but I’d watch it !
Rebecca Hall is an amazing actress. her talent truly turns the screen around
I don’t like to watch anything with this guy in it. His acting sucks.
He was da bomb in “Phantoms,’ yo!
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.
