Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Critics are calling Ben Affleck's directorial debut 'mesmerizing' (Peter Travers ROLLING STONE). When two young private detectives (Casey Affleck (GOOD WILL HUNTING) and Michelle Monaghan MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III) are hired to take a closer look into the mysterious disappearance of a little girl they soon unravel a multitude of twists and turns where nothing is what it seems. Ultimately they must risk everything -- their relationship their sanity and even their lives -- in the search to find her. Casey Affleck and Morgan Freeman are electrifying and Amy Ryan (CAPOTE) delivers 'a vibrant knockout performance' (Kenneth Turan LOS ANGELES TIMES) in this edge-of-your-seat crime drama. GONE BABY GONE 'will have you talking long after it's over' (Christy Lemire THE ASSOCIATED PRESS).System Requirements:Running Time: 114 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA Rated by buyers R UPC: 786936727487 Manufacturer No: 05373800

For his initial offering as director, Ben Affleck returns to the site of his very first Oscar: South Boston. (He and Matt Damon shared the award for Good Will Hunting.) Hot on the heels of his moving turn in Hollywoodland, Affleck's Dennis Lehane adaptation marks one of the more seamless actor-to-filmmaker transitions in recent years. Ostensibly, a procedural about the search for a missing child, class and corruption emerge as his primary concerns. First off, there's low-rent private eye Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck, equally adept in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford). Then there's the girl's drug mule mother, Helene (Amy Ryan, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead). She and Patrick grew up in Dorchester, but he took a different path, setting up an agency with his girlfriend, Angie (Michelle Monaghan). Helene's aunt, Bea (Amy Madigan), hires the duo to augment the investigation, and they team up with Captain Doyle (Morgan Freeman) and Detective Bressant (Madigan's husband, Ed Harris). The authorities don't appreciate the interference, but Patrick knows how to get the local populace talking, and he soon finds there's more to the story than anyone could possibly imagine. Hard-hitting, but never soft-headed, the evocative end result proves Affleck has a flair for this directing thing and that his little brother can carry a major motion picture with aplomb. Gone Baby Gone belongs on the list of great Boston crime dramas, along with The Departed and Mystic River, Clint Eastwood’s take on Lehane. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

It's not often that something totally original comes out of Hollywood. It wasn't what I had expected, which made it interesting.

Casey Affleck's performance was huge. Felt like I was right there with him during those life/death decisions as an anti hero. Of particular note was the very first bar scene where Casey's character is interviewing an old class mate about the case and the local hooligan bar patrons decide to start a throw down. The suspense is immense, especially if like me you view it as the old school yard bully against the little guy with spunk. I heard myself say "YES" as my anti-hero pulls out a Glock...sweet, take that you crap head. My adrenalin was flowing after that exchange, which came as a surprise to me. I don't usually get so involved in a film that my physical life sign stats peak. The story line has the typical twists and turns with no moral right or wrong answer throughout. Our anti-hero simply has to go with his gut and call it based on his experience growing up in the neighborhood. No matter what his decision there is always a cost that weighs heavily on his soul. As Gitano said, Ben Affleck's direction was excellent. After watching the special features I find out why he did so well. Ben and Casey grew up in this area of Boston and were quite comfortable acting and directing with the real people of the area. Ben made sure he used the real folks in the movie. The street dwellers, the cops, even the bar room hooligans were all locals. They delivered their lines and acted as naturally as they would every day. This gave the film a realistic quality that you seldom find.
This is one to purchase. Be warned however, the Southey language is not for the faint at heart.

Who wants to watch a movie about drug addict trash mothers who have no business breeding? Crappy story, crappy ending.

"Gone Baby Gone" heralds director Ben Affleck as an artistic prescence to be reckoned with. The film teems with a highly individualistic style informed by Affleck's upbringing in working class Boston. You can taste it in the art direction and the authentic dialogue espoused by the film's denizens. The film also contains one jawdropping performance by Amy Ryan as the crack-addicted mother of a missing child. That you can engender any sympathy for this apathetic character is a credit to Ryan as an actress. Oscar got it wrong on this one. I would be a little more enthused by the film if not for a slightly lackluster script, cowritten, ironically by Affleck. It's not that the plot is convoluted but a little too labyrinthian for my liking. Another thing that is blatantly obvious is the casting of Morgan Freeman in a role originally intended for a white actor. You can never quibble about employing an actor of the high calibre of Freeman but wouldn't it have made more sense to give his character a grey wife? Nonetheless, an interesting film that's well worth your while.
