Additional InformationBoston bank robber Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) falls for a woman his gang had previously taken hostage after feigning a chance meeting with her to ensure that she can't identify them. The son of a tough Charlestown, MA thief, Doug passed on his chance to walk the straight and narrow in favour of becoming a career bank robber. Not only is Doug's crew one of the most ruthless in Boston, but they're also one of the best; they never leave a trace of evidence, and always make a clean break. His fearless partners in crime have become family to him; Jem (Jeremy Renner), the most dangerous of the bunch, is the closest thing Doug has ever had to a brother. But as a divide begins to open when Jem takes bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage during a particularly tense heist, Doug finds himself caught between two worlds with no chance of turning back.<BR><BR>GONE BABY GONE director Ben Affleck adapts author Chuck Hogan's Hammett Prize-winning novel. With a cast on terrific form and a superbly complicated storyline, itÆs the action that serves as the bait to draw us in, and once we bite on the opening scene, there's no letting go.
