Just watched this with Netflix's on-demand movie service (via 360). Actually a pretty good flick, starts off slow but picks up.

Casey Affleck does detective work with his gf and gets hired to find a missing 4 yo girl. They figure out that the girl is taken by a drug kingpin who had his money stolen by the girl's mother while running drugs for him. And from there it starts to get interesting. Casey does a good job, though I think he does a good job in general.

Directed by Ben Affleck with some pretty good camera shots during the interesting parts - also some weird not-quite-right camera shots, but enough cool ones to make up for it. The slow mo of one of the good guys getting shot later in the movie is almost painful, I think I held my breath.

Watch it, good stuff.

It's been on HBO or something like that for the past month... Been avoiding it.

Thanks for the tip.

This is a great movie!  Ben is a better director than actor and Casey easily carries the show.  It's not typical Hollywood.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one.  Definitely worth a watch.

Definitely a good movie with lots to talk about after.

Was interesting and good, just saw it this week.  Good characters except the girlfriend who apparently nobody (writer, either Affleck etc) knew what do with.

What I liked about this is that I've seen enough noir / crime films to think I knew what was coming, but I really didn't.
