He plays Doug MacRay, leader of a Boston bank robber gang but not cut from the same cloth as his fellow thieves. When Doug falls into a passionate romance with the bank manager (Rebecca Hall) briefly taken hostage in their last heist, he wants out of this life and out of the town. As the Feds close in and the crew questions his loyalty, he has one of two choices: betray his friends or lose the woman he loves. Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Titus Welliver, Pete Postlethwaite and Chris Cooper also star. desertcart.co.uk Review Ben Affleck worked triple-time on The Town, in which he directs, stars, and co-adapts Chuck Hogan's Prince of Thieves. Affleck's Doug MacRay comes from a line of Boston bank robbers. With his father (Chris Cooper) behind bars, he spent most of his childhood in Charlestown with loyal hothead Jem (The Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner). Doug had a chance to go legit as a pro hockey player, but he threw it away on drugs and bad behavior. After the armed robbery that opens the film, Jem becomes convinced that bank manager Claire (Vicki Cristina Barcelona's Rebecca Hall) saw something, so Doug, who wore a disguise at the time, sets out to make sure she doesn't tell FBI agent Frawley (Mad Men's Jon Hamm) anything incriminating (Titus Welliver plays Frawley's partner). Doug starts by asking Claire out, and finds she's more shaken than stirred--and that he likes her better than Jem's oxy-addicted sister, Krista (Gossip Girl's Blake Lively), his sometime girlfriend. Unfortunately, neither Jem nor vicious enforcer Fergie (Pete Postlethwaite) will cut him loose until he orchestrates two more scores--the last to take place at Fenway Park. If The Town offers fewer surprises than Affleck's directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, he raises the stakes with well-planned heists, nerve-jangling car chases, and deadly shootouts. Though Affleck looks too clean-cut to portray a thug, he gives a nicely understated performance, while Hall proves an inspired choice as a woman who could make a bad guy turn good--or die trying. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: Character driven heist movie - I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I'm not usually a big fan of Ben Affleck (Pearl Harbor put me off!), but he is very good in this. The story is set in a rough neighbourhood, following the tale of a group of bank robbers. One of them (Affleck) is starting to develop a conscience and becomes involved with a woman who could be a potential witness. Meanwhile the FBI are busy hunting the gang down. The real strength of the film lies in the relationships between the characters. Affleck is reasonably convincing as a robber starting to change his mind, and his love interest is sweet and naive and fails to spot that there is anything shady about him. Affleck's loyal but aggressive sidekick is played particularly well by Jeremy Renner, and the long-standing history between his character and Affleck's is portrayed exceptionally well. Interestingly, I found myself feeling some sympathy for the robbers - the idea that some people get stuck in a role they are expected to play was a strong theme of the film. This is not a straightforward action film, nor even just a cat and mouse chase with the FBI, but more an examination of the people within the situation. That said, there are some very good action sequences too, some real suspense and excitement, and some strong violence and language. Really liked it - thought provoking and absorbing. Review: Not to be missed - I have to say that I was almost put-off buying this film because I thought the title 'The Town' was too crass. However, I DID buy it and how happy I am that I did. In my own humble opinion this is a standout movie and deserves to be mentioned at the same time as 'Ronin' or 'Heat'. The action goes from the first minute and doesn't stop until the last scene. Robbery, Murder, Conspiracy and Romance ALL have their place and their part to play in this gritty film, directed brilliantly by Ben Affleck. The casting was perfect with Affleck leading a team of armed robbers whose hits grow evermore dangerous as the prize increases. Jeremy Renner is a borderline psycopath and plays his part very convincingly.The late British actor Pete Postlethwaite is the man who provides all the info. Co-stars include Jon Hamm as the FBI Agent on the case, Blake Lively who sells them out, Rebecca Hall the love interest and Chris Cooper. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0049EO108 | | Actors | Ben Affleck, Blake Lively, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 47,354 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 253 in DVD Players | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (466) | | Director | Ben Affleck | | Dubbed: | Italian | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2724564409892 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Italian (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | DVD-Video, PAL, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.8 x 6.9 x 5.4 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 6 April 2026 | | Run time | 2 hours | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Subtitles: | Arabic, Dutch, English, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Ben Affleck, Blake Lively, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall - **Format:** DVD-Video, PAL, Subtitled - **Genre:** Mystery & Suspense/Crime - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours ## Images ![The Town [DVD] [2010] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a1ogzEF7L.jpg) ![The Town [DVD] [2010] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NaQ25bHRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Character driven heist movie *by L***K on 19 December 2012* I was pleasantly surprised by this film.

Affleck has confounded all those who thought he had no talent other than being Matt Damon's pal. He can direct, and manages to keep a high level of tension while the story unfolds in multiple directions covering his parents and their relationship as well as his growing up.The evil spider at the centre of this complex web is the great, late, Peter Postlethwaite (who made this shortly before his death). He plans all the robberies in detail and holds sway over the gang that executes his detailed plans,ruling them with an iron fist.When Affleck tries to break away, he is reminded just why he is trapped, in a terrible way that stretches all the way back to his mother whome he thought abandoned the family when he was a child. A great film. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58741059-the-town-dvd-2010](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58741059-the-town-dvd-2010) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
