The Ben Asslick film will end up with a rating somewhere above 7.4 yet not surpassing Gone Baby Gone at 7.9. It will be good, but not a world-beater. Trailers are almost completely unreliable. Some of the best movies have the worst trailers, vise versa.

Also, all a movie has to do to be good is follow a standard checklist. Great film, however, is an entirely different thing. The Town will very likely be able to follow that checklist well. It's a baffling state of affairs when the vast majority of film can't even do that.
