THE TOWN [2010]

Based upon Chuck Hogan's crime thriller novel, The Town, actor/director Ben Affleck gathers together an amazing cast and takes us on another moody and atmospheric trip through Boston.
Like his directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, Affleck allows the city to play the leading character while setting up the captivating story and characters around it. With brutally realistic action pieces, believable performances and tension that builds at the perfect pace, The Town shows that Affleck is an incredibly talented director and storyteller.

I've never enjoyed Ben in anything. He's been nominated 6 times for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor. *Chuckle.
I've never watched anything he's directed so can't comment on those.
You gave this a good score so I'd give it a chance.
