If subscribers are fans of the film, they were able to highlight many of Gone Baby Gone’s strengths. The first of these is Amy Ryan’s incredible performance as the drug-addicted mother of the deceased and with a bigger Boston accent (if you watch it in the original version). We can also cite its dark, almost dirty atmosphere, which makes the city as alive and disturbing as it is. And, of course, a very well-crafted script creates a truly breathtaking suspense!
Ben Affleck co-wrote the screenplay with Aaron Stockard, who he will work with on Argo and who was already Will Hunting’s assistant producer. Both Boston connoisseurs, they will bring to the screen Dennis Lehane’s novel, which was already set in Boston and which is Affleck’s favorite book.
