A Superb Debut for Affleck

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2016)

There is a certain thing to Affleck's movies - they don't feel flashy. Gone baby gone seems like a straight drama kind of thriller. I watched it in two sittings. After watching the first half I thought it is a no brain-er, but just another police/detective drama. Then the second half unpeeled the layers. But it is not just the story or the mystery, but the Boston setting, the believable cast and above all the moral ambiguity that is shown in the movie that makes it a little haunting as well. A choice that the main character has to make - even you would be left wondering what would you do. Even after the movie ends - it leaves you wondering for a while.
Do not miss this movie - you wont regret watching it. It does have a lot of cuss words and lots of them - may be that's how the neighbor's setting is and some blood but no nudity.
