Ben Affleck’s Crime Thriller That Bombed at the Box Office Finds Retribution on Streaming

When you think of Ben Affleck-directed films, your first thought probably goes to his early, contemporary Boston-centric hits like The Townor Gone Baby Gone. Whether he’s portraying a thief robbing Fenway Park or following a private detective investigating a girl’s disappearance, or a CIA agent struggling to rescue hostages in the Best Picture-winning Argo, Affleck returns to stories about complicated people in complex situations, often operating outside the law. That said, one of his most ambitious crime thrillers, which he directed and starred in, has largely been forgotten.
