Ben Affleck burst onto the scene as an actor in the late 1990s, establishing himself as an up-and-coming star with films such as Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, but it wasn’t until 2007 that he added a second chapter to his storied career: director. The crime drama Gone Baby Gone, currently enjoying a new life on Paramount+, is an emotionally devastating debut that set him apart from other actors turned directors — not just because he didn’t put himself in front of the camera, but also because he revealed himself to be a filmmaker with a style influenced by the iconic directors he has previously collaborated with.
