Gone Baby Gone (2007)

Synopsis: A private investigator is hired to help locate a missing child. The mother is a drug addict.

Appraisal: Quite well directed. The several situations and characters develop in an interesting way, but the whole is less than compelling; it's a sort of formulaic structure designed in such a way as to insert bleak social -- and moral, if you will -- commentary into a mystery plot with some action set-pieces thrown in for good measure.
