Gone Baby Gone (2007): review- 5.5/10

This is a Clint Eastwood influenced picture that tries much too hard to be profound, but is instead rather ordinary.

In a working class Boston neighbourhood a child is abducted: a boyfriend / girlfriend Private Investigation team help the police locate it.

The film attempts, through a convoluted plot, some obvious dialogue and equally obvious acting, to tackle themes related to civic duty.

Ergo, the film is, ultimately, rather solemn.
