Gone goes deep into Boston tragedy
By RACHEL KLEIN AND DAN MECCA | Oct. 22, 2007Drug dealers, broken families, shattered dreams and no hope within an arm's length define the mean streets of Dorchester, Boston in Gone, Baby, Gone, a film that illuminates all of these aspects, producing a crime-driven thriller full of intensity and suspense.When four-year-old Amanda McCready goes missing right out of her bedroom, her mother, Helene McCready (Amy Ryan, Before the Devil Knows Your Dead), a cocaine addict and alcoholic, waits around slovenly for the police to find her daughter.Meanwhile, her sister Beatrice, or B, played by Amy Madigan (Winter Passing), hires missing-person private investigators Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck, Ocean's Thirteen) and Angela Genarro (Michelle Monaghan, The Heartbreak Kid).The couple is forced to work alongside Detectives Remy Bressant (Ed Harris, Cleaner) and Nick Poole (John Ashton, Sweet Deadly Dreams), who offer little more than disapproval at the young team.
