Changing Lanes- Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson.
A minor fender bender brings two men to the brink of self destruction.
A wonderful, character driven film- as I recall, Jackson got most of the press when this came out (and he is predictably good) but Affleck deserves equal credit.

Reminded me of Michael Clayton, another film I enjoyed recently.

Gone Baby Gone- Casey Affleck, Michelle Monaghan, Morgan Freeman.
Two Boston detectives (Affleck and Monoghan) investigate the abduction of a little girl.

Based upon the book by Dennis Lehane (an author I like) and directed by Ben Affleck (an actor I mostly like), I was primed to enjoy this film...sadly, I did not.

This film is the poster boy for bad casting choices.
Not for one second did I believe that Affleck and Monoghan were detectives- college seniors maybe, but definitely NOT the kind of hardboiled detectives capable of some the actions they take or- even more critically- the decision that must be made at the movie's end.

Too bad and better luck next time Ben.

*Gone Baby Gone is the fourth in a series about this pair by author Lehane.
In the books it's made abundantly clear that they are lightweight investigators, specializing in skip tracing, collections, etc. and not heavy duty Sam Spade types. They bumble their way into serious crimes.
Unfortunately, the movie glosses right over this and we have these two baby faced kids being treated as equals by the police detectives assigned to this high profile case.
