Actually this one was not actually by Morgan Freeman. The lead role was played by Ben Affleck's brother, I forgot his name. This movie was great! I thought it was boring at first but as we continue to watch it, we got glued already. The story is quite long but full of twists and you wouldn't know the ending. You know, the type that you thought that it's already the ending, and the story goes on and you still get to know other secrets and twists to the story. It also makes you think on when it is good to decide and act on what is right. It makes you assess yourself in the end. That is what I like on movies. You get something out of it, not just that you were able to pass time. No special effects, not so much blood and not too violent, a balance of all the things that you would not expect on a film. Affleck's brother is also good. There is just a lot of harsh foul languages on this film that it is not suitable to be viewed by young viewers.

Casey Affleck was very good in his role as was Michelle Monaghan but I didn't care for the movie. The subject matter was too much for me and the fact that they actually show you the boy in the end just killed it. We didn't need to see that. It pushed the envelope. Just not my taste. But I think Ben Affleck may have a talent behind the camera that he should explore.

Yes, the topic really bothered me after some time watching it. It made me feel terrible and afraid of my own kids again. But I think on good side, it will make you feel more protective and more careful on the people whom you will trust. I don't know if this really happens in real life. I feel guilty of having sympathy with Morgan Freeman going to jail just because of wanting to take care of a young girl. And I abhor the mother who showed she cared for her child but in the end is being alone again with a stranger.
