Ben Affleck’s phenomenal crime thriller movie is on TV tonight

An absolute must-watch.

Though he does not reveal to her that he is a professional thief, Doug's relationship with Claire sparks tension between him and his more hot-headed partner in crime, Jem (Jeremy Renner, Wind River)

At the same time, Doug and Jem's crew plan one final score by robbing Fenway Park, as the authorities (led by Jon Hamm, Your Friends & Neighbors) inch closer to catching them.

Gritty, pacy, suspenseful, and packed full of fantastic performances (the cast also includes Blake Lively, Chris Cooper, and Pete Postlethwaite), Affleck's movie is widely considered a modern classic.

The Town is airing on TV tonight on RTÉ2 at 9.30pm. It's also streaming on Prime Video.
