Highly masterful

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2008)

A new crime masterpiece from actor Ben Affleck. Brilliant, gritty, twisting, realistic and haunting. It takes place in the underbelly of Boston. Amy Ryan gives a much deserved Oscar nominated performance as a coke addict mom whose daughter is kidnapped. Which escalates a huge story and a huge search. 2 detectives are assigned to find her. It seems as just a normal kidnapping. Ed Harris in a commanding performance helps them find her and Morgan Freeman is the sheriff. Cules are found, people are blamed. But there is a huge twist that is so unpredictable. Nothing is what it seems, and who can you trust? If you like a mysteriously neo- noir type film or a gritty and unforgettable crime drama that packs a huge bang this is it. It will have you debating and talking for days.
