Gone Baby Gone

Man, this one sure got me and the hubby talkin'.

If you're a fan of Mystic River, then you won't be disappointed in Gone Baby Gone. The twists and turns most certainly do not disappoint, and I can promise you, that by the end of the movie, you'll be as torn and confused as the characters on screen, asking yourself the same question: "What would you do?"

Was this movie worth my 2 hours? Fo' sho.

MY RATING: 4.0 stars (out of 5)


Have you seen it? What did you like/hate about it the most?


The Plot from Movies.About.com

When 4-year-old Amanda McCreary goes missing her aunt and uncle turn to the private detective team of Patrick (Casey Affleck) and Angie (Michelle Monaghan) to help bring her home. The child's mother, Helene (Oscar nominee Amy Ryan), is an addict who seems more worried about her next score than she does getting her child back. Once Patrick and Angie take on the case, they quickly find out why Helene's acting so strangely. Helene's got quite a story to tell and the private investigators soon find themselves immersed in a deadly game of cat and mouse as they try and figure out where the truth lies and exactly what happened to young Amanda.


Note: While I love reading quick reviews to help me decide yay or nay, I can't STAND to have the plot given away - unless I'm specifically looking for it. No spoilers here.
