Ben Affleck the new Clint Eastwood?

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2007)

Ben Affleck needs to stop acting, like right now and just focus on directing. He is ,at best, an average actor but a FANTASTIC storyteller as demonstrated by "Good Will Hunting" and even more so by "Gone baby Gone".
3 dimensional characters, the kind you got to see on NYPD Blue in its hay-day (not season 450) and not one character is superfluous or just there for Hollywood conventions (and yes, that does include the girlfriend- who is here actually the voice of his conscience)
Amazing cast; suspenseful; full of surprises and great cinematography.
Thrilling story.
Highly recommended.
Just like in real life, in this movie, nothing is black and white ...ever.
