Hurrah for Ben Affleck, He's got a winner here!

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2007)

First of all let me say that I liked some of Ben's movies, unlike most critics, Armageddon was one of his best. But maybe this will be one movie he is remembered for more than others. The story gets you right from the start. No one likes to hear it when a little girl turns up missing. And everyone hopes for a happy ending. There are a few twist that keep you guessing and you will never be bored with this film. Casey Affleck does a fine job. He looks too brittle or too young to be a private investigator, but seems to pull it off. Michelle Monaghan who plays his girlfriend and partner may not be as well known but a lot of you will be saying to yourself, "I know that girl from somewhere", She is quite a looker. Lots of recognizable faces appear in the movie. I can't remember their names but they all do great jobs. Morgan Freeman stands out more than the rest, and that man can do any role he wants to. He plays the chief of police (or whatever) and succeeds once again.
You won't be able to figure this one out. And not knowing too much about the film will help you enjoy it more. So don't read the spoilers notes and be careful to whom you ask "was it any good", because you and your spouse or friends may leave the theater will different opinions about the ending. And the ending is what makes a movie good or bad. This movie makes you "think" at the end about what would I have done if I would have been in their shoes? Hurrah for Ben!!!
