In addition to having the same word in both titles, as well as Ben Affleck's brother Casey, there are several plot similarities between this film and Gone Baby Gone (2007), which was directed by Ben Affleck. The plots of both movies revolve around a girl who goes missing, then is believed to be dead, but is actually alive, and at the center of a complex scheme. She is returned home to an uneasy home life. Both films are based on novels, and even have very similar posters.
