"If it were up to me and they gave me two minutes with a wet towel, I would personally asphyxiate this half-wit so we could string you up..."

With Mad Men back on our screens, it's easy to think of Jon Hamm as Don Draper, the smooth-talking womaniser who drinks whisky like water and hides his past underneath his sexy hat. But our exclusive new clip from The Town will put that right.

Ben Affleck's crime thriller sees a gang of thieves, led by Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck), carry out a bank robbery where they take a woman (Rebecca Hall) hostage. Then, when MacRay and the lady strike up a relationship at the laundromat, things start to go horribly wrong. Which makes it even easier for FBI man Adam to track down his target.

Swapping his hat for a hefty shotgun, Jon Hamm's dogged detective keeps the side parting but shakes off Don Draper's easygoing charm. And now you have a chance to witness the transformation up close.

Packing tension like a Boston remake of Heat, The Town hits cinemas this Friday. And it's exhilirating stuff, not least because of Jon Hamm. Check out the trailer over in the videos section, or read on for the new clip.
