Gone Baby Gone - A Movie Review

What if doing the right thing means I am doing wrong?

Gone Baby Gone was found in theaters in 2007. A little girl has been kidnapped in the Boston area. Detectives Patrick and Angie investigate the case. Questioning the child’s careless mother and other individuals, this case is not an easy one to crack.

If there's a film that stays with you long after it ends, Gone Baby Gone is the one. The contents of the film are disturbing to view, but it’s all about the effective moral. Be careful about the decisions you make.

Gone Baby Gone has the highest acting acclimations. The cast surpasses excellent monologues and challenging scenes. Acting is a test. It’s a chance to see actors challenge themselves in a completely different persona.

Casey Affleck was a standout. Enduring battles of the real world, Affleck did an incredible job with the character's demeanor. He does an impressive job acting with his eyes. Patrick still has a lot to learn. I liked the way Patrick studied people, changing his attitude depending on who he was speaking to.

Michelle Monaghan’s assertive attitude is the best part of her character. Angie is ready for any confrontation and to fight for anyone. Relationships are a theme in Gone Baby Gone. Patrick and Angie have an important connection.

This is a role that I have never seen Morgan Freeman in. I want to see Freeman in more roles like his character portrayal in the film. Playing the same stereotype gets old.

Amy Ryan is unrecognizable as an unpleasant neglectful parent. Helene is a repulsive person. I turned my nose up at her inexcusable behavior. Even the security guards didn’t recognize her on the first day of filming because her Boston accent was so convincing! Her award for Best Supporting Actress was well-deserved.

More credits include the talents of Ed Harris, John Ashton, Titus Welliver, Michael Kenneth Williams, Edi Gathegi, and Amy Madigan. As for the ensemble, they serve as people who you don’t want to run into.

Studying the script, the cast worked well together in group scenes. Compared to other films, they all felt like real people. They disappear into their characters.

Most of the locations are dark, like the forest scene at night. Speaking of locations, Boston is its own character. Boston has several definitions according to anybody who has lived or visited. The city has its fun aspects, but this film makes you think twice about your visits. I didn’t feel safe and somebody’s eyes were watching at all times.

Ben Affleck distributed a film that would stay with people. In his directorial debut, he achieved his direction in the story. It’s a complex story. There’s a lot going on which may be stressful for some people.

The subject matter and foul language do not appeal to all audiences. Frightening and violent scenes are depicted. If you’re not a fan of violence then you may want to skip this film. Gone Baby Gone is an example of what occurs in the police force. Following along on these dangerous investigations, we fear for our lives too.

Camera angles served up tension. Achieving realism, Gone Baby Gone does not disappoint. It is a deep film. The ending is well-acted.

Gone Baby Gone asks a tough question. What is right? Sometimes doing what’s right is the toughest process you will ever endure. And afterward, do you ever wonder if it was the right choice?

Gone Baby Gone is an excellent work of filmmaking. Be wary of the themes in this film and give it a watch.
