Gone Baby Gone
Aroview: Surprisingly gutsy and sure-footed urban crime drama from actor Ben Affleck, who stays behind the camera to direct his brother, Casey, as a rookie private eye hired to investigate the fraught disappearance of a small girl.
Based on the novel by MYSTIC RIVER author Dennis Lehane, it balances combustible (if slightly contrived) detective melodrama with gritty characterisations and the authentic rhythms of working-class Boston, and finally resonates long after the credit roll with a disarming, morally complex sting in its tale.

3 stars (Good Enough) Ben Affleck's directorial outing is by no means groundbreaking or a must-see, but there are some moving scenes, interesting characters, and a gripping premise. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Powerful stuff. Moving and intense with a perfect ending. ~Wizzums
