Gone Baby Gone [Blu-ray]

Date undefined

I'll start off by saying that I am a HUGE Dennis Lehane fan. He's not my favorite author (Harlan Coben is), but he's definitely in my top 5. I can't say that I like all of his books, but in my opinion "Gone Baby Gone" is one of his better ones. Usually, I don't like book to movie adaptations, as I tend to think that there's no way that a movie can supersede the book that it's based upon, but there's been a few exceptions that I can think of right off the top of my head. "Shawshank Redemption", for example, which is based on a short novel by Stephen King. "Mystic River" is another one, which is based on the book by the same name, and by no other than Dennis Lehane himself. So I thought to myself, it can't be all that bad. Boy, was I wrong. Ben Affleck, and whoever put him in charge, and behind the camera, should be fired and banned from having anything to do with movie making industry ever again. While we are at it, ban Casey, and all the other Affleck's, if there are any, too. But actually, it wasn't Ben Affleck's directorial debut that I have complaints about (honestly, I was quite impressed with it), but rather his choice of actors (I assume that he played a big part in casting). Now let me explain what exactly I mean by that. In my book, Ben Affleck is THE WORST actor of all time. PERIOD. I don't think the word "actor" can be even applied in the same sentence with Ben Affleck. I'm a movie buff, and will watch pretty much anything. However, I try to avoid movies with Ben Affleck for the reason mentioned above; Paul Walker (SECOND WORST actor ever... "Running Scared" is an exception - I enjoyed that movie enormously, and can only wonder how much better it could be without Paul Walker in it); and ... yes, Casey Affleck, who is the THIRD WORST actor, partially because of his VERY annoying voice, but mostly because of the fact that he simply can't act. Anyway... Back to the movie, and why I hated it so much. But you've probably already guessed it - THE CHARACTERS killed it. Casey Affleck's portrayal of Patrick Kenzie was, for the lack of a better word, HORRIFIC. Arnold Schwarzenegger would've done a better job. Is Casey the only one to blame? Unfortunately, not. His "better" half, as someone referred to her in the movie, or the character of Angela Gennaro, wasn't much better also. That's not how I imagined those two when I read the books. They lacked emotion; they lacked chemistry; they lacked anything else that you can possibly think of. And what about Bubba?! He's supposed to be the meanest, the toughest person to walk the face of this planet. Loyal to his friends, but ruthless to his enemies. So who was the whiny, whimpy fatso that played him? Hey, Ben, have you read the book?! Unbelievable... The girl's mother, and her uncle were overplaying a bit. Morgan Freeman was totally underused. I think the only bright spot in the movie was Ed Harris, who almost nailed his part. And the only reason I say "almost" is because he was surrounded by a bunch of losers. So to summarize, if you haven't read the book, and don't mind that pathetic excuse of an actor Casey Affleck, then there is a chance that you might enjoy this movie (although I would still recommend to just pick up a copy of a book, and read it). Otherwise, I suggest to stay as far away from it as possible. You've been warned...

I liked the story of this movie and I thought the acting was good, however, the overuse of the "f" word detracted from it. If someone cannot be more creative with words than that, something is wrong. And if people really talk like this then they need an education. Using the "f" word to describe EVERYTHING shows a lack of creativity. The problem is in this day and age most movies are full of profanity. Using such language should not become mainstream or the norm. Actors, writers, directors, etc. should be ashamed of themselves!

The movie sucks. How could a person living in this day and age not see the future for this little girl. He should have had some balls, and left her with the Captain and his wife.
