(Dargis) ★ ‘GONE BABY GONE’ (R, 114 minutes) For his directing debut, Ben Affleck has done right by Dennis Lehane’s novel and created a satisfyingly tough look into conscience, to those dark places where some men go astray. Vince Vaughn plays naughty Fred opposite Paul Giamatti, who plays nice as Nicholas. ‘FRED CLAUS’ (PG, 107 minutes) A tacky would-be comedy about family dysfunction that fronts some Scrooge attitude only to dissolve into slobbering sentimentality and canned uplift.
Viggo Mortensen is magnetic and enigmatic as a Russian mobster who shows some signs of conscience. ★ ‘EASTERN PROMISES’ The humanism of Steve Knight’s script clashes in interesting ways with the ruthless formal rigor of the director, David Cronenberg, in this clammy, unsettling underworld tale. Which is to say that it’s vain and fussy and also that, by virtue of its visual beauty and its affectionate spirit, it’s a treasure. ‘THE DARJEELING LIMITED’ (R, 97 minutes) Wes Anderson’s latest - in which three brothers (Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson) cross India by rail - is nothing if not precious.

The movie is a quiet, methodical call to become involved. ‘DARFUR NOW’ (PG, 99 minutes) This documentary on the Darfur crisis offers a collective vision of actions, small and large, taken on many fronts, to end a continuing catastrophe that the United States government has labeled genocide. The problem - one of them, anyhow - is that she’s his brother’s girlfriend. ‘DAN IN REAL LIFE’ (PG-13, 95 minutes) A low-key, not-bad romantic comedy, with Steve Carell as a widowed advice columnist raising three daughters, and Juliette Binoche as the woman he falls for.
