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.
