Gone Baby Gone is an argument for obligation over accommodation, the absolute over the contingent.

Ben Affleck
Overview
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 detectives 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.

Flawed but impressive.

Mr. Affleck is laying the foundation, brick by brick, for a promising new career.

Ben directs Casey in Gone Baby Gone, and it's a career highlight for both of them.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

The unconvincing genre conventions in Gone Baby Gone are at odds with its authentic, lived-in atmosphere, but no one can say that Affleck hasn't looked into the depths, and the movie ends on a resonantly ambiguous note.
