Heh, at least one of the Affleck's can act. In this movie, it's Casey and not Ben. But boy can Ben sure direct. He does a wonderful job in this movie of portraying the gritty life in Boston and of telling a very good story. It begins with the disappearance of a 4 year old girl, Amanda McCready, and her aunt's quest to find her. Suspicious of the police the aunt, Beatrice McCready (Amy Madigan) hires two private investigators Patrick (Casey Affleck) and Angie (Michelle Monaghan) to find the girl. Apparently the aunt doesn't trust the police and there is some money involved as well.
The two PI's discover all kinds of things wrong in the case, and they are forced to deal with drug dealers, dirty cops, and terrible parents. All the evidence points to one person, and in the end both of them have to decide what is the right thing to do for everyone involved.
The acting is great by all involved, especially appearances by Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris as the police chief and the detective on the case. The suspense is wonderful in this movie and Affleck does a good job of keeping the audience involved and pacing the moving very well. I liked this one a lot. Just Queue It!
