Great directorial-debut from Ben Affleck who's gone on to direct The Town and Argo. This film stars Casey Affleck as a detective searching for a missing girl. It's very thought-provoking when you finish the movie; there are many dilemmas that the main character faces where it isn't so easy to choose one side. Definitely a memorable movie, it makes me interested in the book. Someone complained about the profanity throughout the movie; I don't think it takes anything away from the movie. I believe that it adds to the setting since swearing is typically part of Boston culture, where the novel is set. Ben Affleck was raised in Massachusetts so I'm sure that he understands the culture and people.
