Did Afflek's character in Gone Baby Gone do the right thing?

Hell no. Great movie, but I really hate the end. It didn't ruin the movie, I just do not agree with the choice made. Which I think was what they were trying to do.

This is exactly how I felt and I was like, "What the frick."

Then this girl that was in the room was like, "Are you kidding? That girl needs to be with her mother, not some foster parent."

I was like ....

Then these two other girls were like, "Yeah!"

I had to leave.

That's fine, but then why come back and play? She could have just supported her sister from the stands? I have a hard time beleiving in the heat of the moment, someone that competitive ( and we see all movie long Dottie is uber competitive) would on the spur of the moment just decide to drop it so Kitt can have the glory.

And if it was premeditated, why not just strikeout instead of getting the hit? If she feels bad after that cause Kitt is crying, why tell the pitcher Kitts weakness? Tell her Kitt loves high fast balls, so throw something else.

When I saw the movie I remember thinking that she didn't know she was going to throw the game until the very minute she dropped the ball. I mainly thought this because of the way the scene was shot: the ball didn't go flying out of her hand from force, it rolled out slowly - as though she decided at the last second to let it go.

Of course, this is not proof at all. Just the impression it left on me.

Until that point she was determined to beat her sister, IMO.
