BRIEF THOUGHTS: Gone Baby Gone
Director: Ben Affleck
Starring: Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris
Plot: A private detective investigates the disappearance of a little girl and uncovers a shocking secret.
Thoughts: Consider me stunned - Ben Affleck is one heck of a director. I knew the guy could write, but this film shows that Affleck is one of the few people in Hollywood that is above average at acting, writing and directing. Though there are a few editing flaws, this is one of the most gripping mysteries I've seen in a long time, as well as one of the darkest and most morally complicated. Props to the writer for asking the tough questions. Be warned, though, you'll have to pay very close attention or you'll miss important details and wind up very confused. I'm still not 100% on all the details, but I'm nevertheless impressed with what Affleck has accomplished. Might we be seeing a nod his way come Oscar season?
