Review of Gone Baby Gone (2007) by Tristan M — 19 Aug 2014

This movie did what it set out to do well. It has a good story, and it's filled with excellent actors. It gets straight to the point, and it does a really good job of keeping you interested. There is lots of swearing, and talk about drugs and what's right and what isn't.

It has a little bit of everything in it, detective work, drugs, and action, and does them all in hope of saving a child. Some scenes are disturbing, with the baby girl falling off the cliff, and the murdered little boy in the bath tub.

In the end figuring out that one of the detective cops were involved in the stealing of the child was kinda disappointing, because I think it would have been better if it had been a real case instead of an expected plot twist like every other movie does.

But the very end is good, with controversy to what should have been done, because both options to what they could have done had their reasons, but he chose what was right, even if it wasn't what would have better benefitted the child.

But it was a good movie nonetheless, that never gave away enough hints for the audience to figure it out for themselves.
