Baby’s Beantown mystery benefits from Ben Affleck proving he’s a decent director with a knack for nailing the local Boston color of Dennis Lehane’s book. Then it comes time to wrap things up and splat. Go to Full Review Christopher Orr The New Republic 09/18/2008

Julie D Nov 20 Wish I could email Ben and Casey and thank them for this film. Just so good. Important. Choices made by Casey’s character Really doesn’t align with what I think I would have done but I will never know. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 20 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more andras gaspar p Oct 20 One of my favourite movies.
