A book adaption done perfectly

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2019)

I wish more films were made like this these days. This was Ben Affleck's cinematic directorial debut and you could tell he put his heart and soul into it. It helped that he had a great base material to work with, but converting a good book into a good movie is still never an easy feat. Affleck nailed it.
The acting he gets out of his cast is phenomenal. There is not a weak performance anywhere in this movie, and the main cast are incredible. I'm surprised there weren't more Oscar nominations forthcoming for them.
This is a very twisty movie that always keeps the audience guessing and unsure of what is coming next. The ending is fabulous too. Over ten years later and it is still being debated to this day. 'Gone Baby Gone' is a brilliant film not to be missed.
