Gone Baby Gone

d/ Ben Affleck

Another examination of Boston's lower class underbelly taken from a novel by Dennis Lehane.

Well-acted but I found the whole thing movieish...periodic violence which seemed gratuitous...very complex plot which stretched credibility past the breaking point...too much button-pushing generally.

It ended on a sour note which helped some but not enough to redeem it. The best of these Boston films is still Monument Avenue
