Convincing plot and realistic characters

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2017)

'Gone Baby Gone' is one of the strongest and most realistic mystery/drama films of the last decade. It is often difficult to buy into the storyline of films like this, either because they are too far- fetched, or the plot isn't properly developed. This isn't the case with 'Gone Baby Gone', it is very well-written and the characters all feel very realistic.
This is a drama film more than anything and there is a lot of emphasis on the dialogue. The viewer has to pay attention to pick up on plot developments and the film has some very good and well-timed twists.
I was impressed and thought that 'Gone Baby Gone' was a good film all round, with a convincing and well-constructed plot and an interesting and realistic bunch of characters.
