Gone Baby Gone is Ben Affleck's directorial debut with his brother in the lead role as an advisor hired by two members of the family of a missing little girl. An already messy situation turns messier and just a bit too melodramatic to my tastes. There is a sense of individual moral choice that adds complexity, and the hard edge is pretty good, but I did
feel used. And, things were a bit too neat ... in a fashion ... at the end. Mixed bag. Didn't quite like it.
