Gone Baby Gone (2007)

Ben Affleck
Everyone Wants The Truth... Until They Find It.

When 4 year old Amanda McCready disappears from her home and the police make little headway in solving the case, the girl's aunt Beatrice McCready hires two private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. The detective freely admit that they have little experience with this type of case, but the family wants them for two reasons - they're not cops and they know the tough neighborhood in which they all live. As the case progresses, Kenzie and Gennaro face drug dealers, gangs and pedophiles. When they finally solve the case, they are faced with a moral dilemma that tears them apart.

Στην πρώτη του σκηνοθετική απόπειρα ο Ben Affleck κλείνει τα στόματα όλων αυτών που τον ήθελαν απλά ένα μέτριο ηθοποιό (... συγκαταλέγω και τον εαυτό μου ανάμεσά τους ) .Αρκετά καλές ερμηνείες και ένα τέλος- ηθικό δίλλημα-που σίγουρα θα προβληματίσει το θεατή αρκετή ώρα μετά το τέλος της προβολής

the road to hell is paved with good intentions ...
