Gone Baby Gone

[Cosmic Charlie]

I don't what to turn our little theological debate board into a movie review site but has anyone seen this movie ? It came out in 2007, I'm a little behind in my movie watching.

Good Lord in Heaven.

It starts with a 4 year old getting kidnapped. Private detectives get involved.

So its a crime movie.

But it's quiet, no guns, no car chases, not a lot of yelling. For long stretches of time the main characters seem to speak at a whisper.

It just 2 hours of unrelenting, unstoppable, continuous human destruction.

Half way through this movie you're convinced there is no way our race is redeemable.

Three quarters of the way through you're praying the kid never gets found because it's a better fate then being returned to her mother.

It's the most morally depressing movie I've ever seen.


It's absolutely the best movie I've seen in years. You HAVE to see this.

It's on my list of movies to watch when my kids get a bit older. I've heard a lot about it, but for some reason, just can't watch movies like that with kids the same age at home.

It's not the sort of movie I would watch but more of the thing that my wife would find interesting, might get her a copy.

I've seen it. I think I even have the DVD. It's an interesting movie, morally speaking.

And who'd have thought Ben Afflec was such a good director?
