Gone Baby, Gone

4.5 STARS

Gone Baby, Gone is an EXCELLENT film. I love movies that make you think, and this was certainly one of those movies.

I can't say too much 'cause I don't want to give the ending away - but this is a great film. I reminded me a lot of the kids I teach at school. It shows a life that I can't imagine growing up in - but a life I believe many of my students have.

The theme of the movie is: Does the end justify the means?... and it does an excellent job of asking the question. Wow. Again, it was amazing.

The acting is solid, the cinematography is solid, the story is solid... This is a must see.

I agree, it was a SOLID movie. The opening sequence was fantastic as was Casey Affleck's acting. I'd only seen him in Ocean's, so this movie showed his versatility as it is a very different part. I prefer his acting over his brother, Ben. Though I would also say that Ben did a great job directing this one.

The movie was very real and gritty. Great supporting actors make it that way.

It definitely makes you think and makes you want to be better and makes you want to hold your children close.

Definitely a must-see.
