This movie touched on some moral gray areas. It was a good mystery, but when eveything came to light I thought to myself "Oh geez, really? Ridiculous" It was just too much. |

A film directed by Ben Affleck may have once caused me to avert my gaze and weep long into the night, but after watching Gone Baby Gone I am convinced he has the good touch. Moving, though-provoking, even intelligent. A novice makes good. |

Hmm.. Ben Affleck? |
|
Wow..Never did i know that Mr. Affleck was a director. This movie was somewhat kinda like the departed with the whole cops and boston thing going on. But while watching it, the movie was a little confusing at the end but had a good plot. I rate this movie a A-. |

Moral gray areas |
|
A fascinating character study with richly-textured characters and a script that provides plenty of emotional and moral dilemmas. I think the point it's trying to make is about making choices, not whether they are right or wrong, but about making them and living with the consequences. A brilliant directorial debut for Ben Affleck and well-cast across the board. Final Grade: A- |

Affleck has earned back my respect |
|
This film has some the the most powerful and effective moments I have seen in many years. The whole movie in general has the perfect tone and unbelievable emotion. I did get a bit upset as toward the end, it strays a bit from the emotional, and tries to turn into a crime thriller with twists and turns that just seem distracting to the point of the movie. Overall its most effective when it looks deeply at it's characters and really makes you feel what they are going through. Kudos to both Afflecks, however, I didn't feel like Casey was quite right for his role, and didn't play it as well as a more experienced actor could have. Congrats Ben on a great film. Who knows, maybe Tom Cruise will make a movie now after this. |
