Just watched this on video the other night. I had no idea what the movie was about, who starred,directed ect, not a clue. I was renting videos on Redbox.com so I could just simply pick them up at our local box and thus avoid the having to wait and discover the one movie I wanted to see was gone for the night. So when I read this title out loud to Beckie she said 'yes, I want to see that one. I heard it's suppose to be really good." So it was added to my purchases and picked up later. Here is an official synopsis from a movie website:
Ben Affleck's adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel Gone Baby Gone stars Casey Affleck as Patrick Kenzie, a private investigator from working class Boston who takes on a case involving a kidnapped girl. The girl's mother begs Patrick to take the case because he has connections to criminal Boston that the police do not. He agrees and, along with his partner Angie Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan) they uncover a web of corruption that threatens the relationship between the two. Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman co-star as members of the Boston Police Department. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
It was a very good movie. I completely disagree with the way it ended and certainly wanted to side with the female leads stand on how it should play out. Sorry Beckie I know you felt it ended the right way. It opens a huge pot of speculation on the whole doing the right thing morally or doing the right thing in the best interest of a child. Yeah I did just go there. (interesting perhaps that this is the movie I watched at this time, considering all the current drama that is my life) I won't ramble, you know I can, but I will simply say, I will always err on the side of best interest of a child, always. I have lived far too long with the results of addressing the best interest of parents.
