**SPOILER ALERT!**  If you haven’t seen this movie, then read no further because I reveal some of the plot and things that happen along the way (in regards to “Gone Baby Gone”)

Tonight, husb and I decided to sit down and watch a movie.  A rarity for us since it seems we always have other things going or are just too tired to watch a movie so we opt for the snuggle-in-bed and watch television, choice.

We decided to watch “Gone Baby Gone”.  What an amazing movie!  It had so many twists and turns and surprises!  My head was spinning and my heart strings completely tugged on.  I was cheering when the child molester got shot …. because yeah.  I think child molesters deserve capital torture and to be castrated.  I was crying with the brief scene of the little boy and THANK GOD they didn’t do much other than flash across.  If you’ve seen the movie, then you know what I mean.

Then, I came to the conclusion that the wrong choice had been made in the end.  I truly think that the little one would have had a better life had the private investigator dude stayed out of it.  He should have just turned and walked away.  The biological mother of the child didn’t even deserve to be a mother.  She went back to her same routine as soon as the dust died down.

It was the kind of movie that made me get up and hug and kiss my children tight (even though they were sleeping).

Has anyone else seen this one?  What were your thoughts on it?  Do you think he made the right choice in the end?

I really did enjoy that movie! Ben’s directorial debut was brilliant. In fact, I’d rather he just stick to directing. I’ve gotta ask – have you seen Jodie Foster’s recent movie, The Brave One? That was also an unexpectedly GREAT movie.
