"Gone, Baby, Gone:" yes, Casey Affleck is a darn good actor,

already at his young age and experience level; certainly, he's the finest of the youngsters.
The film, however, is a mess. Enough McGuffin's to fill a bakery shop in Boston's Southie and then some.
At one point, one of the film's critical moments, an incident occurs which Casey's character fails to notice for, in film terms, several days.
But it gets worse: SPOILER
One is to believe that cops will litter Boston with bodies just to help a senior cop get around adoption laws?
This premise is almost as dumb as the Mystic River plot which sank what could have been a regular missing kid flick.
What a waste: there were a lot of good supporting actors in this film...

Follow Ups:

I enjoyed Gone Baby Gone - PhilJ 10:03:33 11/05/07 (1)
but it was a little too long. At one point I though it might be over and then it lasted about another 40 minutes. I thought Ed Harris was over the top also.

It was a little uneven but the dialog was believable and well written. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest.
- I enjoyed it, too, but I don't think it is anything special. Good entertainment, nothing more. nt - tinear 14:28:24 11/05/07 (0)
