Shockingly excellent film

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2020)

Ben Affleck has never impressed me as an actor. He helms the film here as director and writer. The results? Gone Baby Gone is nothing short of a grand slam. I've only watched 2 films in my entire life with, what I would call, a justifiable kidnapping. Weather or not they find this little girl alive, if at all, is going to be up to you to find out, you're going to have to watch, and trust me, it will be worth your time. It's going to have one of those endings that's going to be debatable between two viewers who are going to agree or disagree. Sometimes, people do the wrong things for the right reasons. In general, kidnapping is wrong. The film is carefully handled, has a smooth pace, great dialogue, and a controversial but satisfying ending. If you have any information regarding a child who may have been stolen, please contact Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST. Great job, Affleck!
