Review of Gone Baby Gone (2007) by Riff J — 02 Jan 2016
A fascinating movie that will test your beliefs and views. What starts as an emotional drama quickly morphs into a thrilling mystery. And even though there is a clear separation between black and white in the beginning, by the end all you can see is grey.
There is some fine acting on display here, and Casey Affleck definitely didn't get the lead due to nepotism. He shines in his role as the protagonist, forcing you to walk in his footsteps during this emotional rollercoaster. Oh ya, and that other Affleck, he actually shines too, in his directorial debut.
Overall it's a great movie that will appeal to a very broad audience: Film fans who enjoy an intelligent mystery as they attempt to stay one step ahead of the plot... or film fans that just like to relax and be surprised as the plot reveals itself... and especially film fans that love debating human morality, and what's right vs what's wrong. All will leave satisfied at this end of entertaining flick.
