Review: Gone Baby Gone



The Affleck brothers steal the show in front and behind the camera in this story of two young P.I's hired to investigate the case of a missing child.

Behind the camera brother Ben carefully crafts a film full of atmosphere that is complex but never confusing and has a moral dilemma at its core that will leave the viewer with plenty to think about long after the credits roll.

And despite featuring impressive performances from all the cast, its Casey Affleck who once again outshines the bigger names on show in his role as principled P.I Patrick Kenzie.

With possibly one twist too many to be a truly great film, there is still plenty to recommend in this intelligent and atmospheric thriller.
