Just got back from it. Wasn't blown away by any stretch, but it was a good crime thriller, which is probably my favorite genre of film. Thoght Affleck did a great job with the screenplay and direction, and he was half decent with his role. Jeremy Renner was the best of the bunch, that also included Jon Hamm(aka Don Draper).

The story was good. Thought some of the scenes early on seemed a tad rushed, but they were still quite believeable. The heist scenes really reminded me of Heat. The camera movement and the slick music. Heat had Pacino vs Deniro so it was always going to be tough to top that. Not that Affleck was trying to do that, but he was able to keep up the suspense pretty good.

A solid 7/10. Would definitely reccomend it to anyone that likes these kids of flicks.
