Watch Gone Baby Gone For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Really? This piece of crap? I know that this is real life, but when i am watching a movie i would like to have a good feeling after it ends, this made me vommit.....

This is the film I created an IMDB account for, just to bring its rating down. And I have watched many, many rubbish films before I felt the need. It must have been the pending GDPR that drove me to it. Anyway. This tv-film scores 7.7 at this moment and for the life of me, I can't imagine why. Grey's Anatomy scores .1 less and that has been running for 14 years!Woe statistics. Anyway.. "Gone baby gone" is a mediocre detective, set in purely American circumstances with a completely foreign (possibly American) idea of justice, child care and social support. And Casey Afflecks voice. That alone should have scored 4.9 or less. You know there's a genre called psychological thriller? Well, this has no psychology in it AT ALL. No depth, not even a good talk. Just guns and assumptions. Boring.

Without actually giving away the ending of the movie, I will say that I hated it. In my 49 years, never have I agonized so much over the fate of fictional characters.However, I will also say that the ending is what elevates Gone Baby Gone from simply being a well-made if forgettable thriller to an absolutely unforgettable masterpiece.The movie has the guts to pose a question I asked myself every single day in my early 20s when I worked as a counselor in a group home for troubled kids - "does everyone have the right to raise their own child?"Every single day I asked that question - and every single day I didn't like the answer.I also didn't like the ending of Gone Baby Gone - but I would have never respected or appreciated the movie the way I do if it had been any different.9 stars - to a movie with the courage to give us an ending we didn't want.

I love Ben Afflecks work, both as an actor and a director he has consistently blown me away with his work, while he went on to say great things with his directorial ability I can't say he had a great start in what I found to be an extremely misguided crime thriller. Another trope of Ben Affleck I find recently is that even when he isn't in a good movie he tends to be the highlight of it and this is the case here to, his work behind the camera is truly excellent here, he's not afraid to go slow and a lot of his shots are done all in wide angles without cuts and it's extremely effective, this film doesn't have a whole lot of action but when it comes he handles it very well, nothing about the violence feels like a movie, but realistic and often shocking. In all his films he uses the location as a character and it's no different here and adds this dark feeling that stays consistent throughout the film.The performances here are all stellar, Casey Affleck gives a very subtle performance here, you can read a lot of his face without him saying anything and carries a lot of this film for me. Ed Harris is also fantastic in this movie, a very wounded and tired performance then he plays extremely well. Amy Ryan absolutely floored me in this movie, she was so despicable I couldn't believe and absolutely earned her Oscar nomination for her work here. The ending was handled perfectly in this film, it asks the audience to think for itself and doesn't give any easy answers, it leaves them feeling unfulfilled and makes you look back in the entire film as a whole. It was a bold note to end on and I really admired them for not giving a stereotypical happy ending. But I find this film to be very mediocre for a few reasons for one, the pacing. This film drags for large portions and honestly bored me quite a bit. A lot of that has to do with a lot of meaningless sequences, the film takes a turn about half way through and nothing ever comes of it other than to extend the run time. Before the ending nothing that happened really stayed with me and makes this film rather dull for me.I have no issue with slow movies but I have to be invested in the characters for that to be a benefit and I don't care for most of these characters, many of them are one note and just have a tendency to repeat the same dialogue over and over again. I don't care about them so I don't particularly care for the situation. I particularly didn't care for Michelle Monaghan's character, I didn't feel like she had much chemistry with Affleck so I didn't really buy their romance. The twist in this movie is also very mishandled, not only was it really cliché but a lot of the characters involved with this twist feel forced in and don't feel very within character for them, it adds something to the ending but on its own it does nothing to me except for making me feel underwhelmed. The Town is one of my favourite movies, Argo is one of my favourite Best Picture winners and I even enjoyed Live By Night for what it was but I really couldn't get behind this film. I like the direction, performances and ending but the film as a whole is bogged down by weak characters, an unearned twist and slow pacing. I'll still watch anything Ben Affleck directs but I can't say he hit the ground running in his career as a director. 5.5/10: C (Mediocre)
