Gone Baby Gone (2007)

After ‘Mystic River’ and ‘The Departed’, South Boston is the new go-to setting for inelegant crime drama’s. The place has a distinct flavor to it that contrasts with New York, a place that has been rendered generic by its almost given statues as the background for crime movies for eighty years. Gone Baby Gone's new flavor extends to the intracencys of the story, which while at first seeming typical, twists on itself, and then twists again. It all leaves you a cunningly designed moral dilemma worthy of a philosophy class. The Casey Affleck ascendency has begun.
