A great story, but Casey Affleck didn't work well

Always believed Casey Affleck is one of the most underrated actors in the business. Wish he was offered/accepted more roles to show his skills. Anyway I went into this movie with high hopes, but was hesitant as his brother Ben was unproven at the time as a director, (Obviously that has changed with his excellent 'The Town' and the great (possibly slightly overrated?) Argo. Well it may be an overused phrase but I was simply blown away. An excellent adaption of a good book with a tight script, unbelievable performances from all the cast, particularly the two leads. Ben really translates the atmosphere of the city and the people who inhabit it to the screen. The movie is made interesting not because of the case, but the characters involved and their interactions, humorous, threatening, pathetic and depressing; often all at once. Casey is outstanding, an Oscar worthy performance. Watch this movie, can't recommended it enough.

Phenomenal. The acting was great all around, particularly Ed Harris and Casey Affleck. All the twists are logical and keep the movie interesting and unpredictable. I would have liked to see Patrick and Angie's relationship fleshed out a little bit more and as it would have made for a more emotional ending, but still felt as though the ending was very good. One more thing -- [spoiler] I still don't understand who the bald guy killed in the bathtub. [/spoiler]

_Gone Baby Gone_ is a captivating film, thanks in large part to its exceptional cast. The performances, especially by Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan, are top-notch and draw you into the story. The film's intricate plot is riddled with twists that keep you engaged and guessing until the very end. It's a compelling crime drama that delivers a satisfying dose of mystery and intrigue.

A black and white world in shades of gray... that is, there are rarely completely good choices.

"Kids forgive, they don't judge, they turn the other cheek, and what do they get for it?"

Can't believe I hadn't seen this one before. Gone Baby Gone has a great story and dilemma at the end. Casey Affleck is great and I always love seeing Amy Ryan. We also get Ed Harris, Michelle Monaghan and freaking Morgan Freeman. Also a plus is that I just simply love Boston settings in movies and we get another one here.

Anyway Gone Baby Gone is Ben Affleck's director debut and it is a great one. He clearly knows what he was doing from the get go and he only improved with time.

Gone Baby Gone has a great ending and the road towards the ending is great too. Happy I spotted this one on Netflix before it leaves today.

God, I forgot what a gut punch watching this movie is. They ought to do one of the other books as a sequel. I think I'm going to change my rating to a 9. Fantastic cast. Great story.

@gamerdave69 Yes, please! Moonlight Mile wasn't _as_ good a read as Gone Baby Gone, but Dennis Lehane adaptations have so far not been a disappointment. Mystic River, Shutter Island, and The Drop were excellent films; sure, Live By Night was a dud, but that's so far been the only aberration in the Lehane adaptations.

Really not good - had good actors. Unfortunately they couldn't save a film with terrible writing, producing and directing.

Lehane can write, Ben can direct, Casey can act. Gone Baby Gone is a near perfect novel made it to the big screen as a near perfect movie. A young Casey Affleck and a brilliant Ed Harris show us the dark side of Boston.

very good acting and an amazing story with a lot of very sad moments but as realistic as it can get, and i love it. [spoiler] Literally everybody loses at the end of the movie x). and, I definitely disagree with Patrick's choice. [/spoiler]

Story-wise, I was fully engaged...but it was sometimes hard to do between the awful Boston accents and Casey Affleck mumbling his way through most scenes. Thankfully there were enough twists, turns, and misdirection to keep my attention. The moral quandries presented throughout should stir some inner dialog about what's the best choice amongst only bad options.

This is a very nice little film directed by Ben Affleck and starring his brother Casey. Two thinks about the film stand out as they tend to be rare in cinema today: 1) You weren't quite sure when the roller coaster ride was going to be over. At several points in the movie you thought it might have ended but it moved on. More importantly, the extensions were completely natural and did not feel forced. 2) The director left us with a fascinating moral dilemma that is sure to spark conversation after the film ends.

>"Kids forgive, they don't judge, they turn the other cheek, and what do they get for it?"

The Afflecks sure do know how to show Boston in a light that is interesting, gritty and dark. What from what I have been told, that is close to the real deal. This movie was good, but can tell Ben Affleck was still getting a feel for how to direct movies (which is later pretty much perfected with The Town).

Gone Baby Gone was decent. It had a beautiful opening and a lot of the similar sequences later on were likewise really good; the aerial shots and the ones just showing the community all had very nice accompanying music. It bothered me that the TV broadcast's text never looked like it was on an analogue TV like the rest of the image and some of the accents were too hard to understand, necessitating turning on subtitles at times. I felt the twist reveals weren't handled very well as they felt too explanatory with too many flashbacks which took away from the impact they should have had.
