Have to agree that the small screen is doing a better job these days but with this in mind I think you’re too hard on Gone Baby Gone.

I thought Morgan Freeman’s performance was good, we’ve seem him do it before yes, but I think he manages to add another layer to the character.

I also liked a lot of what Casey Afflek did but felt he was too young for the role.

The film itself was a very interesting throw back to the old fashioned hard-boiled detective films that I love. It had a 1970’s feel to it, with it’s relentless bleakness, while still being very much set in the present.

The ending did go Hollywood alright, but I’ve seen worse.

I think Gone Baby Gone was an interesting film with complex characters that puts it up to its audience to think about the World we live in today.

I’d recommend it to anyone who can handle the bleakness of the World.
