FEATURED FILM REVIEW

Gone Baby Gone

Starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Amy Ryan, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman. Directed by Ben Affleck

The Boston neighbourhood of Dorchester is a gritty, working-class area lined with the wreckage of broken families and dreams. Here 4 year-old Amanda McCready goes missing without a trace. The police fail to turn up even the narrowest lead, so Amanda’s desperate Aunt and Uncle plead with local private investigators Patrick Kenzie (Affleck) and Angie Genarro (Monaghan) to take the case.
