Gone Baby Gone

A terrible title that delayed my seeing this incredibly fine film. In spite of being a book title, the very idea of the film was more than I wanted to see, but my son said, "Let's go" and we did.

And I'm glad I did.

A profound story that raises so many questions in the end.

When it right to do wrong?

Who knows what's right or wrong?

Does love ever trump the law?

Can one be legally right and morally wrong?

With so many twists and turns, I was wondering if we would come to any conclusion.

Well, the director, Ben Affleck, put it all together.

Brilliant performances by all - Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman are their usual awesome, and a great performance by Casey Affleck.
