Speaking of Gone Baby Gone

Amy Ryan and Ben Affleck have been getting good citations for their works in Gone Baby Gone. Ryan has been an up and comer for years with roles in Television's "The Wire" and films such as You Can Count on Me and this year's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.

Affleck has been praised for his directorial debut in Gone Baby Gone. Looks like he may not be a joke anymore and the film screams Oscar bait. So far with 11 reviews counted (which is nearly nothing) It stands at a 91%! Affleck may have found his niche and could be our future Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson and Sean Penn.
The trailer does give off a Mystic River feel to it and we could even see Ryan being pulled in with let's say.....ED HARRIS. Harris is 0 for 4 on the Oscar poll and this looks to be some scenery he can chew on quite well. We'll wait and see for more reviews. Here's the trailer to observe.
