The Town (2010)

Ben Affleck directs and stars in a bank heist picture set in Charlestown, Mass., the capital of bank heists, with average results. Affleck can’t find the right tone for the film or his complicated character, and only Blake Lively gives an interesting performance.

Adaptation. (2002)

Wonderfully strange and funny, the film is about screenwriting and orchid thieves and … Nicolas Cage plays twin brothers — real screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and fictional screenwriter Donald Kaufman. Brian Cox is dead-on as script doctor Robert McKee.
