Starring Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Michelle Monaghan and Ed Harris
Directed by Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck makes his directorial debut in this adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s acclaimed novel. When a four-year-old girl disappears from her Boston home, two young private detectives, Kenzie (Affleck) and Gennaro (Monaghan), are hired by the child’s aunt to investigate. Their search brings them into contact with local lowlifes and thugs as well as the child’s drug-addled mother (Ryan in an Oscar-nominated role). Their findings will test their relationship, put them in conflict with local authorities and force them to question their own values and choices.
