Gone baby gone

A tense, crime thriller directed by Ben Affleck shows that his talents are equally noteworthy for behind the camera efforts. Showed his writing promise and acting talent in 'Good Will Hunting', yet this time around allows his younger Brother Casey to play the lead in 'Gone baby gone'.

Nice use of language and dialogue between strong cast memebers, nicely paced so that as the intrigue increases you are drawn in. What let's the story down though is the ending, it's just a bit unbelievable and far fetched. Good to see a movie set somewhere other than LA or New York, the rough Boston Neighbourhood Dorchester is shown warts and all. And maybe cinema sound systems are getting better but the gunshots in this film were fantastic, very loud and sharp.
