GONE BABY GONE [2007]


After the success of Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck made a name for himself for making really shitty movies. Thankfully, Shutter Island novelist Dennis Lehane's Gone Baby Gone came along and inspired Affleck to direct the film for the big screen.
This neo-noir Boston crime drama is a compelling, sad and disturbing story about moral stature and where your heart truly feels is home. Casey Affleck is once again amazing in his performance, as is Ed Harris and Michelle Monaghan. Both Affleck brothers bring a certain type of authenticity and emotional impact to film that you know they're making it straight from their hearts.
