Review of Gone Baby Gone (2007) by Jess L — 06 Feb 2013
As many have said Ben Affleck should stick to directing as he seems to have much more talent for it than acting. The opposite applies for his brother Casey who gives a stunning performance here, although at times he struggles to pull of the "hardass" character pulling his gun out and threatening people, he just doesn't have the look to match.
Overall a solid screenplay and even though some plot twists are quite obvious they are none the less satisfying. The ultimate point to this story is a question and the direction this film takes poses that question to not only the characters but the audience watching their story and this ultimately stays with you after the film has concluded.
It's an intense film, the performances are realistic and heartfelt and overall an extremely satisfying film. (though not enjoyable at all times due to the content).
