Gone Baby Gone is Going...Going...Gone

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2008)

A story of deceit, and moral virtues marks this film.
Amy Ryan is excellent as a very common vulgar woman whose illegitimate daughter is kidnapped. Morgan Freeman plays a police supervisor, who lost his own child in a kidnapping years before and is forced into retirement when the solution to the "Ryan" kidnapping goes awry.
There is plenty of corruption in the police department.
The main fault with the film is the casting of Casey Affleck as a detective helping in the search for the kidnapped child. He evokes little emotion and besides, his speech is garbled.
Liberals will adore this picture as it brings out the age old conflict of where a poorly raised child belongs- with her mother or outside the environment. We know this and there is nothing special when the Ryan character reverts back to her usual ways once her child is found.
