Everyone wants the truth . . . until they find it.
IMDb: "When 4 year old Amanda McCready disappears from her home and the police make little headway in solving the case, the girl's aunt Beatrice McCready hires two private detectives Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro. The detective freely admit that they have little experience with this type of case, but the family wants them for two reasons - they're not cops and they know the tough neighborhood in which they all live. As the case progresses, Kenzie and Gennaro face drug dealers, gangs and pedophiles. When they finally solve the case, they are faced with a moral dilemma that tears them apart."
Wikipedia: "Gone Baby Gone is a critically acclaimed crime drama adapted and directed by Ben Affleck. The movie is set in Boston, and based on the novel of the same title by Dennis Lehane. It stars Casey Affleck and Michelle Monaghan, as Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro, two private investigators hunting for an abducted four-year-old girl in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Amy Ryan has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her performance in the film."
This was surprisingly very good. I've got to check out the book on which it is based. Amy Ryan gives gritty portrayal of a junkie-mom disconnected from everything around her, save her next fix. She does such a great job you want to hate her for her negligence.
