Superb

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2008)

Just watched this the other day and was so pleased. This movie is great and delivered on every level. I've admired Casey Affleck's work since Good Will Hunting, but after seeing The Assassination of Jesse James and Gone Baby Gone, I am convinced that he is an amazing actor. The supporting cast is fantastic, Ed Harris is so talented and Morgan Freeman is always good. The actress in the lead as the little girl's mom is so good it's scary. She portrays a drugged out, selfish, terrible mother to a tee. The plot has some great and surprising twists and kept me on the edge of my seat. Some scenes were so raw and quite disturbing but an unfortunately startlingly accurate depiction of some of the sickness in the world today. Ben Affleck should be so proud-amazing job.
