    A tangled morality tale which challenges us viewers which side to believe and agree with. "Gone Baby Gone" even from the very beginning, is very much treading the lines of despair, and even though everything was put right back into order in the end, I can't help but feel bad for ...( read more)the characters' fates. A brilliant job for Ben Affleck in makiong a great film comparable, or even surpassing, the great "Mystic River", another film adapted from a Dennis Lehane novel.

    Any movie that shows a dead child's body is blach! I almost vomited! So disturbing and unnecessary for the plot. Good story line, could have been a good movie. That just ruined it for me!
  • November 22, 2009
    Suprise Suprise ,Ben Affleck can direct movies...awesome movies.
  • November 18, 2009
    Really well written and performed. A very realistic approach with lots of cultural devotion and convincing characters. At times it feels like a documentary because the people are so real. Ben Affleck did an amazing first job at directing and I feel it's only going to get better. ...( read more)Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan were perfect, they were just so entertaining and true at the same time.

    Il resto del mondo l'ha apparentemente amato, a me è sembrato che avesse una bella storia, ma che non fosse così eclatante, boh, aspetto risposte.

    Ben Affleck decides to grab a camera and fill its feature-film with the characteristic, overabundant optimism that Clint Eastwood acquired in his latest films. The outcome is not far from bad, offering a lame story that has nothing new to tell with a painfully weak script, awful ...( read more)performances (thanks for saving the day, Harris) and amateur editing. Ben... I know Casey is your little brother, but let's face it: he's gay. He's the worst actor alive. Do not make another film; this is the best you can do.

    Oh, and for my fellow readers... Do you really think the ending is unfair? Hehe, the answer is not that easy. There are cheesy layers of truth beneath it, but I agree with it. It is the ending the one that saved the film from a lower rating.

    61/100

    Simpley Put; "Watch For Yourself!"
  • October 20, 2009
    Saw this on the plane, Casey Affleck's acting was quite good.
  • October 18, 2009
    Good story with lots of twists and turns. There are a few little hints along the way, but I doubt anyone ever guesses the ending..
  • October 14, 2009
    Had some intense moments...
  • October 7, 2009
    The movie was slow I continued to watch. Finally it got my attention.
  • October 6, 2009
    This is the best movie I have seen in 2009. This movie was far from what I thought it was going to be. I put off watching it. I am sorry I did. When movie opened I thought to myself that Casey Affleck wasn't the man for the part, boy was I wrong. When I look at the awards this mo...( read more)vie got I see that Michelle Monaghan got most of the awards, Casey deserved more, as he played an excellent part, and it wasn't a movie that featured Morgan Freeman. He was in it but his appearance didn't make the move. This is a 5 star and more movie. Will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Yes sir 5 stars.

    A great directorial debut by Affleck. It was dark, moody and raised a lot of questions. There are no right answers though which will always lead to conflicting reviews. I liked the twist ending (although I wanted it to stay dark) but the main thing is that John Ashton is back in ...( read more)our cinemas. Wish Casey Affleck didn't mumble so much though
  • September 30, 2009
    C'était vraiment pas ce que je pensais, c'est un film dur, avec un mère ingrate qui te donne l'impression qu'elle ne mérite pas sa fille, la fin est surprenante et donne un choix assez déchirant.
  • September 27, 2009
    This movie is what you call a can't miss movie it has all the makings of a great film and let me be say that it is a great crime film at that, probably one of the best since Street Kings and Narc. It's execution and style almost borders on Noir and it does so with oh so muc...( read more)h style and grace. Ben Affleck proves that he's as good a director as he is an actor and screenplay writer . Ben Affleck surpasses his previous screenplay which he won the Oscar for( which was just as good here) and creates an intricately woven and malicious Crime Mystery.



    When I first heard about this movie I had absolutely no interest in crime films I was more into Sci-Fi then crime. But now after almost three years and finally deciding to see this film I'm glad I did. This crime drama is powerful in it's execution and sinister in it's play on words and scenarios. It moves along like a wicked little machine taking you here and there and everywhere in it's story all the while keeping you totally in tune with the plot and the going on's of the film. It's so wrapped up in it's story that when you start watching it your slowly but surely drawn in and to tell you the truth this movie won't let you out until it's over and done with. This movie has a very well rounded cast of actors that all display there talents above there normal status quot, Casey Affleck is one who stood out in this film his strong performance drove this film and made it something more than just your run of the mill crime film, his performance stole the show him and Ed Harris blew away anything they've done in the past and have made a strong stand here and came out on top. Michelle Monaghan was beautiful as always but she got sandwiched by Cast Affleck and Ed Harris' strong performances and is almost a throw away in the film(which her character was anyways.) Morgan Freeman who's small but pivotal role was not a scene stealer but he did exceptionally well for the time he was on screen.


    All in all this film is something you can't miss, it's a study in the devious corrupt nature of man and the true meaning of justice for children. It's a film that you can see over and over again and it will still have the same affect as the first time you watched it. It's a devious ride of sin, lies , love and making the right choices even if they affect those around you. Gone Baby Gone is a movie that is going down in the crime section as one of the best of all time, and it rightfully deserves it this films delivers non-stop mystery and deceit that is hypnotizing and engrossing, All in all this is a can't miss thought provoking Crime drama that must be seen to be believed.
    Gone Baby Gone delivers.

    intelligent movie and great choice by Ben Affleck
  • September 25, 2009
    The aunt of a young girl who goes missing hires two local private detectives to find her amidst the usual accompanying media frenzy. Gone Baby Gone was directed and co-written by Ben Affleck on his debut behind the camera but please don't let that put you off! It's actually one o...( read more)f the most refreshingly adult and well-written cop thrillers in recent memory. The story felt to me almost like L.A. Confidential done in the style of TV series The Wire, in that there is very little in the way of moralistic black and whites, all set in a ghetto-like environment with the associated colourful yet believable language and characters. It's a film that actually has something to say, examining questions of the personal sense of right and wrong and the cynical media hype machine milking such incidents for all their worth for its own gain. Of course having such superb acting talent involved certainly doesn't hurt, Affleck, Freeman and in particular Ed Harris are are excellent and Casey's brother shows an excellent eye in his surprisingly mature direction. It's not perfect; the story is perhaps a little too convoluted, I myself feeling that there was one too many endings for its own good, but aside from that there is very little to find fault with. One of the most accomplished directorial debuts I have seen in years, and all this from the star of Gigli! Who would've dared to think...?
  • September 20, 2009
    Brutal. Just brutal. I think that Ben Affleck really may have a great career in directing!
  • September 16, 2009
    After reading my friends reviews of this film, I change my rating to "Want to see it". : D
  • September 13, 2009
    This is a very strong directing debut by Ben Affleck. He brings us this story about a girl that goes missing in Boston and two private detectives help with the case. A great film with interesting characters and a great twist to the ending that I almost never saw coming. Outstandi...( read more)ng performances from Casey Affleck, Ed Harris, Michelle Monaghan, Titus Welliver, Morgan Freeman and Amy Ryan. The film is very dark and disturbing at times about children, drugs and crime. But it was all well done for the story to work. Well worth checking.

    Ben Affleck's directorial debut in Gone Baby Gone opens with a child abduction which fami...( read more)ly hired a local detective couple to do the street investigation. The plot had so many twists, sometimes I like movies that makes me think, or try to puzzle out what is going to happen.It is the kind of movie that will have you thinking for days, "What would I have done?" Great movie.
  • September 2, 2009
    Ben Affleck? definitely not
  • September 2, 2009
    Perhaps Ben Affleck does a better job with everything behind the camera efter all. I know from before that he's good with manuscripts, and now I also know he's good at directing what he's written. Or adapted from a novel into a screenplay.
  • September 1, 2009
    Exceptionally well done movie. Ben Affleck should stick to directing, way better at that than acting. Casey Affleck is already a superstar actor and he's only been around a few years. I liked the Boston feel to it (where it was set), had a Good Will Hunting feel about it. Freeman...( read more) and Harris were fantastic as always. But the aspects of the story and the camera angles made this great rather than the acting, which was very good as well.
  • August 26, 2009
    Clever. Awesome movie. Casey Affleck was really good in this movie, and a very intense character. I couldn't believe the ending, I honestly didn't see it coming.
  • August 26, 2009
    I was disapointed , that's a boring movie and Casey Affleck is defenatly not a revelation for me . Averrage. Not good enough.
  • August 22, 2009
    intense about the urgency of finding missing kids... Casey Affleck was fantastic...
  • August 19, 2009
    Was a bit horrible at times!
  • August 17, 2009
    A very good movie. Casey Affleck could be the Best Actor working today.

    hmmm mybe nice movie

  • August 5, 2009
    Great movie. Should make it on a lot of 07's top ten list. Even though I like Ben Affleck on the screen, there is no secret he better off of it. Ben's brother, Casey who is the lead actor easily boosted his acting career for his role in this film. Freeman and Harris were outstand...( read more)ing in this film and continue to show why they are outstanding actors.
  • August 4, 2009
    Dynamite directorial debut for Ben Affleck. Casey delivers his 2nd Oscar-worthy performance of 2007. Story is compelling and unpredictable. A revealing look at abduction from a personal/social slant.
  • August 3, 2009
    This was directed by an actor and it shows. The performances are uniformly good; Amy Ryan is the standout but Ed Harris has some nice moments. The storytelling is clumsy and the surprise ending packs no punch. As a director Ben Affleck is promising but shouldn't rest his reput...( read more)ation on this one.
  • July 30, 2009
    Impressive, surehanded directorial debut from Ben Affleck - who'da thought he had it in him? Helped immeasurably that his brother Casey and not he took the lead role. Casey Affleck brings a morality and streetwise sensibility to his private investigator that we rarely see. Thi...( read more)s is not your jaded, hardbitten, hard drinkin' Mickey Spillane here, this is a guy who prefers to ask questions first. And this must be a cinema first: a crime story without a single scene set in a strip joint. While the plot grows increasingly farfetched, and an unfortunate "surprise" twist that becomes less surprising given the Conservation of Characters axiom, still an above-average if overpraised stab at the genre.
  • July 29, 2009
    This film is a very gritty outlook on a missing child and how it can affect different people. The plot is superb with twists and turns in the story that keep you guessing. Affleck is excellent as an anti-hero and always strives ot do the right thing. Worth watching.
  • July 29, 2009
    Ok, so maybe Family Guy was wrong, and Ben Affleck did have more to do with Good Will Hunting than eating Fritos and getting high...

    Though there are some very cliched scenes stretched too far by extraneous, stagey dialogue that's soap-opera bad in spots, this film gets high m...( read more)arks for its moral ambiguity - it's one of the few films I've recently seen that have really made me ask questions, and it's a tough one to wrestle with. Ed Harris is brilliant, and Boston looks beautiful - all in all, it's a very good first outing for Affleck as a director, and this is without a doubt one of 2007's better films.
  • July 27, 2009
    I really liked this movie. not only does it have great acting, but it brings up questions where it is almost impossible to decide what is right and what is wrong.
  • July 26, 2009
    Some a few parts of it.. And it looks great !
  • July 26, 2009
    Ben Affleck's first stab in the directors chair is a riveting mystery with so many twists and turns. It's a dark and disturbing movie that challenges your own believes and ideals in such a cleaver way. It's full of strong performances from from everyone especially Casey Affleck w...( read more)ho delivers an an outstanding lead. Ed Harris is always reliable as is Morgan Freeman as support .I watched this last night and i'm still thinking about it now. Sometimes,things are not always what they seem,and what would seem terrible and wrong at first glance,could be for the best. This was so cleaver,thought provoking and compulsive viewing. Bravo Ben.
  • July 24, 2009
    A superior, haunting thriller of abduction, deception and ethical dilemma with a sobering ending - a moral quandary that demands strong debate outside the cinema.
