Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is the film I created an IMDB account for, just to bring its rating down. And I have watched many, many rubbish films before I felt the need. It must have been the pending GDPR that drove me to it. Anyway. This tv-film scores 7.7 at this moment and for the life of me, I can't imagine why. Grey's Anatomy scores .1 less and that has been running for 14 years!Woe statistics. Anyway.. "Gone baby gone" is a mediocre detective, set in purely American circumstances with a completely foreign (possibly American) idea of justice, child care and social support. And Casey Afflecks voice. That alone should have scored 4.9 or less. You know there's a genre called psychological thriller? Well, this has no psychology in it AT ALL. No depth, not even a good talk. Just guns and assumptions. Boring.

The relentless attempt to crack the dirty policy was thrilling to watch. Loved it.

Without actually giving away the ending of the movie, I will say that I hated it. In my 49 years, never have I agonized so much over the fate of fictional characters.However, I will also say that the ending is what elevates Gone Baby Gone from simply being a well-made if forgettable thriller to an absolutely unforgettable masterpiece.The movie has the guts to pose a question I asked myself every single day in my early 20s when I worked as a counselor in a group home for troubled kids - "does everyone have the right to raise their own child?"Every single day I asked that question - and every single day I didn't like the answer.I also didn't like the ending of Gone Baby Gone - but I would have never respected or appreciated the movie the way I do if it had been any different.9 stars - to a movie with the courage to give us an ending we didn't want.

Our choices make our realities, either good or bad. The question is; what is really good or bad? Is the world black or white? Can there be grey areas? These are the type of questions you will be asking yourself after watching this magnificent film.Gone Baby Gone is based on Dennis Lehane's Mystic River. It follows two Boston private investigators that are given the case of missing 4-year old Amanda McCready. During the investigation, the private investigators work with Boston detectives in hope of finding Amanda alive and well.To my shocking, this film marks the directorial debut of Ben Affleck. I have to say, he did more than a great job. Ben's brother, Casey Affleck, and Michelle Monaghan star as the private investigators. They both were authentic in their acting. The acting all around was very realistic which I believe is vital to this story.Speaking of realistic, the montages of urban Boston were extremely authentic. The extras used looked like they lived in the streets of Boston their whole life. This really made me feel the story was real and I was watching it unfold right before my eyes.The writing in this film is wonderful. It kept me on edge and had me thinking, there has to be more, something just doesn't seem right. The actors did a great job of portraying the story line. I like how despite Casey being a "young looking fellow" and presumably under qualified, according to the detectives, he had the guts to question everything, even when it could cost him his life.Overall this is a great mystery that you deserve to unfold. This film questions morality and exploits human behavior. I loved this film and I bet you will too.
