Gone Baby Gone

When I first heard of this movie, I thought that it was going to be a lighthearted romp with the Violent Femmes song as the inspiration. Um, I was wrong.

The movie is good enough I guess. Much better than the crap that was Mystic River but that isn't saying all that much. Ben Affleck's direction felt like he was directing a TV show. It didn't feel terribly "cinematic" to me. But whatever. The story is somewhat interesting if not a bit ridiculous. Amy Ryan was good and I was surprised by how good Casey Affleck was. And it's always nice to see Michael K. Williams.
