Within the first few minutes of watching GONE BABY GONE you know that you're about to watch a good movie.  There's never a dull moment in movie,  because  it demands your attention from start to finish.

At the very start of GONE BABY GONE a 4-year-old girl is missing.  The movie is set in a tough Boston neighborhood, and private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro (Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan) are asked by the family of the missing girl to assist in solving the case by contacting people who will not talk to the police.  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.

Yeah, this is a good movie. I loved it and the ending was had enough moral ambiguity to make me sit back and wonder what I would have done!

Jo, do you call it "Bahstun"? I have friends from Boston (I call it "Bosston") who have such strong accents! Or maybe I have a New York one and it clashes? lol.

As a Bostonian I'll be curious to hear the accents:) Jo
