The Citizen Annette Bayne When is doing the right thing the wrong thing? Ben Affleck tosses the movie-going audience a whole lot of moral ambiguity to mull over in his new gritty drama Gone Baby Gone. | 15 | |
24.com Ivan Sadler Well paced and exciting while remaining entirely believable and will make you think. What more could you ask? | 15 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 18 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson A solid companion piece to Mystic River and David Fincher's Zodiac, Gone Baby Gone is a superior American crime drama. | 15 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Gone Baby Gone is powerful stuff — a movie that derives its plot twists from moral conundrums rather than from narrative sleight of hand. | 18 | |
ScreenIt Ben must certainly get his kudos for delivering a fairly impressive directorial debut with only a smattering of issues that prevent it from being brilliant. | 14 | |
