In a nutshell

Gone Baby Gone is such a well made movie that one has to wonder what the talented Mr. Ben Affleck has been doing in front of the camera for all these years. I almost felt like someone must have ghost-directed this excellent piece for him. Although based on a book, due credit must be given to the director who has created something that's heartbreaking and gripping at the same time. Also pretty good is Casey Affleck, forever ingrained in my memory as one of the two goofy brothers in the Ocean's movies. Kudos to them both!
