Gone Baby Gone (2007)

Genre: Crime/Drama/Mystery/Thriller

Starring: Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris, Amy Ryan, John Ashton

Directed by: Ben Affleck

Rated: US: R, UK: 15

Movie Review:
Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, Gone Baby Gone is the feature length directorial debut for Ben Affleck. But in the entire movie, I did not find any aspect that showed that this has been directed by a novice director. Instead, hats off to Affleck that he directed one fine movie which, in turn, shows his bright future in the movie direction. 

Gone Baby Gone has some very fine actors like Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris. Harris has been brilliant in all of the movie. Ben's brother Affleck need to learn to act more subtly because he seemed just okay. Beautiful Michelle Monaghan has done a pretty nice job.


It's a mystery thriller about a girl who has been abducted by someone (I won't tell you who - no spoilers, remember (;  ) and a private detective Casey Affleck is investigating the case with Michelle Monhaghan as his 'better half' and two policemen Ed Harris And John Ashton. All Casey cares about is finding the girl and get her safely to her mother but when he digs deep down, he comes to know some truths that were better hidden and some lies that are sweeter than the truth. But what will Casey do after knowing the truth is the biggest question.

The strongest part of this movie is its brilliant plot that will keep you intrigued (of course only if you have not read the novel, as I haven't). And when you will know what it has in the end, it will leave you questioning about what you saw. It will make you think what was right and what was wrong and that what has been done was the thing that should be done. Confused? Curious? Well watch this movie and you will know what I am talking about (and no this ain't a psychological thriller lol).

My Recommendation: Watch it for Ben Affleck whose hard work in direction has made the movie worth a watch.

Why Should I See?: Brilliant plot, some fine acting.

Why Should I Not?: Nothing specific, a bit slow but that too is manageable.

Rating: 7/10

À L'intérieur aka Inside (2007)

Genre: Horror/Thriller

Starring: Alysson Paradis, Béatrice Dalle

Directed by:Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo

Rated: USA: R, UK: 18

Many of you will find this movie as the sickest movie you have ever seen. Inside is one strong bloody violent movie that has the tendency to haunt you over and over. This movie is strictly a no for weak heart. Only watch this if you have guts to see blood and violence beyond your limit.  This is the sickest entertainer I have ever seen.

You may hate yourself to watch this movie but Inside is worth to see for movie lovers who are fine with blood, gore and violence to an unimaginable extent. Mark my words - SAW and Hostel are just kids in front of this Horror flick. There are scenes that will certainly make you to either turn the movie off or close your eyes, and if you can see this movie in one go I must highly appreciate your guts to watch a bloody entertainer like this one.

Inside is some of those movies that remains with you even after its over, but not in a pleasant way... ;). But one thing is guaranteed, weather you like it or not you will always remember this movie.

My recommendation: Watch it at your own risk but the directors have done a marvelous job, after all, what is the use of horror movie if it doesn't haunt you?

Why Should I See?: Plot
Why Should I Not?: None unless you don't have capacity to see blood, gore and violent movies at a great extent.  

Rating: 7/10
