When you learn that, you&#8217;re probably thinking that things don&#8217;t bode well for this film. Well in fact that&#8217;s not the case. Based on novel by Denis Lehane, and set in a very realistic feeling working class Boston, it involves the disappearance of a little girl from a family. Affleck&#8217;s character is called in to investigate by the family since the police don&#8217;t seem to be getting anywhere.<br \/>\nAnd so begins a very murky story that doesn&#8217;t necessarily turn out well for anyone involved. It&#8217;d be a shame to hint at any of the twists and turns, but this is a worthwhile effort and makes a change from the standard middling thriller fare that Hollywood can produce by the yard.<br \/>\nCasey Affleck is very watchable, and I hear he&#8217;s also been getting good reviews for his appearance in The Assassination of Jesse James. To be honest, it&#8217;s been a while since I really enjoyed a film by his brother, but there&#8217;s undoubtedly some talent in that family.<br \/>\nSadly, I can&#8217;t see a release for this film in the UK which, given some of the dross that gets released here, is a bit sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gone Baby Gone is the directorial debut of Ben Affleck and stars his brother Casey.
