Gone Baby Gone (2007) 8/10

Starring : Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris, John Ashton, Amy Ryan
Director : Ben Affleck
Running Time : 114 mins

When a four-year-old girl goes missing in a small South Boston town, private investigator Patrick Kenzie (Affleck) is called upon by the family to try and find out what happened to the girl and try and find her before it's too late. Just when he thinks that the case is closed, Kenzie discovers some important facts that make him rethink his handling of the case and to start looking back over old ground.

This is a very intense movie with a sensitive subject at the centre of it. Ben Affleck manages to handle the story with an expert hand, and proves that he may actually be better behind the camera than in front of it. Casey Affleck brings an intersting character to the screen, a man who simply can't make the right decision no matter what he does throughout the movie. This is well worth checking out, but the subject matter of child abduction may be something you want to avoid.
