I have to admit that I did not really want to see this movie. Although I do love the actors and I was curious to see how Ben Affleck would do with the direction, it seemed like a really average story. The beginning was slow and although the story of a kidnapped child is heartbreaking, it is a movie that has been done in the past. The movie did start to pick up towards the middle and let me tell you by the end, I was enthralled. It is a very tumultuous ending that will no doubt leave you wondering, what would I have done? If you like neat, happy endings, DO NOT see this movie. There are several moral dilemmas in this movie that are not fully resolved and the ending doesn't leave anyone happy. But it is a story that is worth seeing and certainly a topic that is worth discussing.
