Gone Baby Gone is a 2007 American crime drama which focuses on two private investigators, Patrick Kenzie (Casey Afflect) and Angela Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan), hunting for an abducted four-year-old girl from the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Before watching and reading the plot outline I had high hopes, however I was left pretty disappointed. The film was unable to match the very similar movies “mystic river” in portraying the gritty community life in the city of Boston. The film was very slow paced and relied on cheap thrills and weak twists to motivate the audience. The main positive from the film was that the acting was of a high level.
