Identity crisis

Astonishingly, I enjoyed The Town even though it is a heist movie with set-piece shoot-outs and car chases and even though it doesn’t break any new ground, which is just such a faff anyhow.

Have you ever tried breaking new ground? It’s exhausting plus, after a certain age, it is very hard on the knees. So this isn’t fresh, exactly, but it is tense and exciting and well performed and you do end up caring about the people you’ve been manipulated into caring about. I ask you: what more could you want from a trip to the cinema? Unless, of course, it is something that makes you think, but that, too, is vastly overrated. And a faff.
