I'd looked forward to watching this film for some time, but it unfortunately turned out to be a rather underwhelming experience. "Gone Baby Gone" is one of those films which tries to be clever and fails miserably. The convoluted plot sadly becomes more and more unbelievable as the film wears on to the point where you're left wondering who would actually buy such a thing happening. I certainly couldn't and I wasn't the only one.

If the poorly thought out plot wasn't enough, matters were not helped by Casey Affleck's incessant mumbling. Trying to decipher what he's saying is an ordeal in itself. The use of subtitles really is a must. Whilst his enunciation did improve as the film wore on, it did raise a question as to why it was ... Read More:

Given no publicity and not shown in cinemas in the UK due to events at the time of release Gone Baby Gone passed by under the carpet.

It is a hidden gem that really shouldn't be missed. If you are a member of the 'yuck, it's Ben Affleck' bandwagon please, don't be put off. If this is anything to go by and he is hanging up the acting, we should have some great stuff in the future - maybe another Good Will Hunting?

Without giving too much away about halfway through there's a major left turn in the way the film is going and it's followed up with a series of them until the end. The only odd thing I found is Michelle Monaghan, I'm not sure that her charactor really needs to be here. Adds a bit of balance I suppose?

I went to see this film on the strength of a recommendation by Christopher Tookey in the Mail, who gave it a rare five stars. However, I was disappointed. The dialogue was extremely difficult to catch, and I found the plot wildly implausible. The mother of the kidnapped child may have been unfit to be a parent, but would the female detective really have allowed her dislike to become so personal and obvious? The acting talent of most of the stars seemed to be wasted on wordy, over long scenes of dialogue, while the convoluted plot lost me totally.

I wasn't overly impressed with how this film started. It had the cheesy cuts and acting-style one normally associates with American TV cop shows. Still, it wasted no time in placing the viewer in the centre of the action and I thought I would give it a chance. I'm glad I did because the film's intriguing plot - about a little girl who has gone missing - combined with pacy, exciting direction makes for a great ride. I was utterly gripped until the end.

The film really kicks up a gear when first, Morgan Freeman appears and then Ed Harris and John Ashton. These actors have so much movie experience that they know how to light up the screen with their presence. This was much needed, because although some of the smaller parts, such as Titus Welliver's loyal ... Read More:
