The film follows the struggles of local Boston private investigator. Patrick Kenzie and his girlfriend Angie Gennaro, in their attempts to locate a missing young girl. Kenzie, played by Casey Affleck, is continually plagued by the case and won’t stop at anything to bring justice to his hometown.
It is one of the most original thrillers I have seen in a long time as it begins as one thing and completely morphs as the film progresses. The narrative weaved by director Ben Affleck, brother of the lead actor, is suspenseful and well paced whilst packing some truly surprising twists.
I love the way the film is set as the audience is really able to grasp the idea of what it means to call a certain place home. Casey Affleck is excellent in his role and he continues to be one of my favourite actors working today, he can count this along with great performances in Manchester by the Sea Good Will Hunting and Interstellar.
Morgan Freeman’s role is certainly an interesting one in this film and it is great to see him play a different sort of character and Ed Harris is at his brooding best.
I loved the way this film makes you think and keeps you thinking long after it has finished. Kenzie’s moral rigidity leads him to making an ultimately contentious ethical decision and leaves the audience wondering if they would do the same. A great watch and certainly up there as one of my favourite thrillers.
