The performances are all uniformly excellent, despite some weaknesses in the script by Affleck, Peter Craig and Aaron Stockard (āGone Baby Goneā), based on the novel āPrince of Thievesā by John Hogan. As a director, Affleck is still finding his voice. And while much of āThe Townā is shaky ground for him, he mostly keeps a steady hand, delivering a well-honed heist thriller, even if it fails to fully engage the audience.
