He was great at both in "The Town".

Have you seen it? If not, I highly recommend it.

This. Hes never been the worlds greatest actor, but hes solid enough in the right role.

His acting is fine. He got a bad rap from Gigli, which was horrible on all accounts. Al Pacino was far worse than Affleck.

With a few more strong releases, the notion that Affleck "can't act" will be long forgotten.

Gigli....hahah

Kudos to Affleck for being able to successfully move on from the hearthrob/Tabloid/JLo phase of his career.

He's a very good actor in the right roles. His bad rap as an actor had more to do with "sum of all fears", "daredevil", and as you pointed out "gigli" back to back to back. He doesn't need to do lame action movies like Shia Laboof.

Ben Affleck as Antonio Mendez, lol. I like the premise though and will no doubt see it.

He looks like he could play David Ghrol.

He was awesome in The Town.

I wonder what happened between him and Kevin Smith. I listen to Smith a lot (he talks a lot) They used to be buddies.. Smith would joke about how Affleck was gonna be a "star" and leave the rest of them behind. But something changed and it's like the one thing KS won't talk about now.

I just saw this. Pretty good movie. John Goodman (RIP) and Alan Alda were ****ing hilarious.

I kind of forgot how everybody in the late 70s/early 80s was butt **** ugly.

Hmmm. I had no idea thy had a falling out? What was the last thing they did together? Jersey Girl? That was during the previously mentioned tabloid/Jlo phase.

This. One of my top ten. It is one of those that I just HAVE to watch every time it is on.

Argo **** yourself.

Loved it.

Saw it this afternoon. Liked it more than Cloud Atlas but not quite as much as Looper. All in all, though, quite a good one.

Its become a suprise sleeper hit. I have faith in the American movie going public again.
