Plantão Cinéfilo's review about Gone Baby Gone(2007)

Go, baby, go (far away).Listen, they promised me a crime/ police investigation thriller and that's how it started out. I believed the premise, I was excited by the cast, the pacing, the oomph, I was in it and then... Casey Affleck who? Ending what? I feel like they shifted focus somewhere in the middle and it somehow became about the ~underbellly~ of Boston and some fair share of personal drama, which would have been fine, had it been written and/or performed in more seamless or at the very least less jarring way. By the end, not sure if it was just me, but I feel like it just simply lost sight of what it set out to do - maybe if I'll get it if I become a born-again Bostonian?
