Great lead performances from Ben AffleckA very well crafted and beautifully shot mystery thriller from David Fincher. Masterfully edited, and full of humor with plenty of twists and turns that keep you guessing and giggling along the way. Great lead performances from Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. The story and thematic elements to this are intricate and not easy to pull off or execute, and David Fincher does it with gripping ease and elegance. It is a great looking movie with an original story and is not afraid to go as far as it can possibly go with its material. Great pacing and a fun watch with a few OMG jaw-dropping moments mixed in.

Watching the story unravel as the 1st half of the film points towards the obvious before the second half rips the mat from under you. Ben Affleck isn't so bad as the grubby ,mediocre but framed husband. He is subtle in this role ,conveying a lot with just a his detached face.

Fincher directs with his usual superb class, giving the film great style and keeping the story alive(Gone Girl is easily one of the year's best directed films), and the whole film looks absolutely great with brooding lighting that evokes the creepy atmosphere brilliantly and Gone Girl is also a film that makes good use of digital, after seeing many directors over-using or cheapening it it was refreshing to see the technique done with taste. Trent Rezner and Atticus Ross's music score gives the film a haunting vibe and adds much to the unsettling intensity that a lot of the film(at least two-thirds worth), managing to not do it in an in-your-face manner. The use of sound mixing was interesting and came off cleverly, almost like a distant thought process. Gone Girl also has a brilliantly written and adapted script that does a great job balancing dark humour- that's not overused and is often hilarious- and suspense mystery (The Cool Girl monologue in particular is a masterpiece of script-writing, one of my favourite film monologues ever), while the story(apart from taking a bit of time to get starting) is absorbing from start to finish, rich in detail and characterisation and is filled with shocks and unpredictable twists that will be guaranteed to leave you reeling. That it is adapted from superb source material(one of the best books I've read in recent memory actually) helps it, and that it is faithful to it is commendable, a case of being faithful to the source material actually coming off wonders rather than being bogged down by being too faithful. The not-what-they-seem characters are incredibly interesting and richly developed, especially Amy who is one of the most chilling female characters of the year. And the acting is one of the high points of the film, as good as Fincher's direction and the score are it's Rosamund Pike's knockout turn as Amy in restrained- she only has to raise an eyebrow or something like that and it says a lot- but quite terrifying mode(especially in the third act) that makes the film. It will be a great surprise if she isn't at least nominated because it is easily her best performance. Ben Affleck has the other not-what-they-seem role and plays it with oozing charm and brooding intensity, while Neil Patrick Harris surprisingly excels in a very against-type role(who knew he could be sinister?) and Tyler Perry oozes charisma and is very funny. Carrie Coon is the standout in support, it's a tricky role and the moral compass of the film but Coon is touchingly likable in it. The ending does for my liking end too suddenly and the storytelling got implausible and lazy at this point, but apart from that Gone Girl was a winner and one of the best of the year. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Ben Affleck is Nick Dunne has returned home and as he went home, he found his wife, Amy played by the lovely Rosamund Pike, missing. As his flashbacks go on when he first met Amy, Nick is being accused of murdering his wife, Well, you can learn that it's not scandalous just like other cinematography from David Fincher to film. There are no words to describe how great this film is. Rosamund Pike did a fantastic performance along with Ben Affleck and the other cast. The writing is great and the directing style is impressive too. You can't really go wrong. It is a fantastic film with a plot twist at the end even though I'm not going to spoil it. But if it's anything having to do with this, is that it got me and you on the edge of our seats.… Expand

Gone Girl is a thrilling and emotionally jarring piece of cinema that subverts the romance and crime genres into a more modern and bleaker world. The film is also one of the first to explore the impact that “fake news” and rhetorically driven pundits have on society. While these elements are present in the book from which the film is adapted, Fincher takes them and throws them under the magnifying glass. The most remarkable thing about the movie, however, is that Tyler Perry, of noted Medea fame, gives a great performance. All players give great performances. Affleck likely giving the best of his career so far. Gone Girl is so insanely purposeful with all its elements that it feels as if the viewer is watching a real news story unfold. At times the movie is manipulative, but it does so admittingly and in a manner that is simultaneously thematically and socially driven. Fincher works excellently with crime subjects. Pieces like Se7en and Gone Girl show that he understands the genre as it currently exists and as it will exist in the future. Gone Girl starts with a steady gallop, but once it gets going it never stops until it gets right back where it started. In a way, the end is built into the beginning, but the middle gives context to the end.… Expand

Una de las cosas más sorprendentes de 'Perdida' (Gone Girl) es que su mayor plot twist en torno al cual gira la historia ocurre sobre la mitad del metraje, y no al final, donde siempre apuntan la mayoría de films tradicionales. Otro punto increíblemente brillante es como consigue reflejar con la crudeza de sus imágenes el lado oscuro de las personas.

Una magnífica fotografía, dirección e interpretaciones hacen que Gone Girl brille por méritos propios y de todo el equipo y reparto, y no solo gracias a Fincher, que, como bien nos tiene acostumbrados con otras cintas como Seven o Fight Club, cumple con creces. El mayor fallo son pequeños matices sin sentido ni coherencia: pequeños detalles absurdos hacia el final de la cinta; quizás descuidados, quizás pasados por alto, pero que acaban pesando si el espectador se percata de ellos (y es difícil no hacerlo con algunos). Aun así, una grandísima película que entra para mí entre los clasicos de David Fincher sin lugar a dudas. Muy recomendada.… Expand

Eh bien ma foi, d'un point de départ très classique (une femme disparaît...), on aboutit à une sacrée intrigue, originale et bien ficelée et si on sent quelques hésitations au début ainsi que des longueurs dans l'exposition, tout le reste du film est étonnamment captivant malgré tout de même deux plombes et demi bien pesées...

On retrouve le David Fincher de The game qui signe un thriller efficace et tendu avec une partie énigmatique dont le voile se lève par à-coups, une partie bien mieux gérée que dans Fight club notamment. La mise en scène reste typique du réalisateur, classique mais élégante avec une photographie toujours très soignée.

Ce qui n'empêche pas quelques interrogations vers la fin sur nombre de détails obscurs ou peu vraisemblables ! la fin elle-même est bien curieuse à dire vrai mais soit... Rosamund Pike étonne sans convaincre totalement alors que Ben Affleck l'affligeant tocard nous afflige de sa présence. Cela dit, vu le rôle de dindon qu'il se tape, il en devient presque supportable à dire vrai. Au final, un film intéressant mais non dénué de quelques défauts. Mais intéressant.… Expand

It's honestly a movie that will somehow keep you on the edge of your seat for it's impressive three hour runtime. In my opinion, this is David Fincher's best work as a director. Every shot is immaculate. The soundtrack is tense. Every performance is too real. The story, written by Gillian Flynn (the author of the novel this movie is based on) is filled with twists and turns, and will have you guessing and leave you shocked with every development until the very end. The ending of this movie is so satisfying and shocking, and I won't spoil anything about it!

Gone Girl is a very cleverly done meta of a film. At it's core, this is a movie about secrets, manipulation, lies, and ultimately a conflict between men, women, and how relationships are perceived by society vs. how relationships actually are. The performances by Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike are jaw dropping. Easily their best work. Carrie Coon is incredible as always, and even Tyler Perry busts out some great acting chops.

This is a must-see movie. If you like mysteries or thrillers or good acting or a good script, you need to see this movie!… Expand

Personally I found the first half of the movie intriguing in the way it gradually begins to cast doubts on Nick innocence and keeps the audience guessing as to what actually happened. After the “reveal” takes place however Gone Girl did start to run out of steam a little and I found my interest starting to wane as it reached its climax. Worth watching but this could easily have been 20-30 minutes shorter than its two and a half hour running time.… Expand

The protagonist Amy is hiding is hiding behind a mask of a successful, intelligent and independent woman, who has many hobbies, can handle with everything and is also happy. In fact, that's what her parents want her to be and how they actually see her. She found a guy, that change her life and make her really happy, but then he turn out to be a **** selfish person, who start ignoring her and act like she is nothing. Sooo the revenge comes and it's so satisfying. .

Couldn't believe how crazy good and messed up this film is; in my opinion it is one of David Fincher's best. Rosamund Pike's portrayal as Amy is beyond words, as well I was shocked to see Tyler Perry in an actual good movie.

“Gone Girl” is a psychological thriller directed by David Fincher.

Honestly, I have decided to see the film just because the director is David Fincher. He has his own very distinctive style, and even if you have seen only one of his movies, you will immediately recognize Fincher's work in “Gone Girl”.

The plot is fast moving and absorbing, compels viewers to follow the chain of events. By the way, the screenplay based on a novel of the same name written by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the script.

Turning back to the film, the day of his 5th anniversary, Nick Dunne (by Ben Affleck) returns home and finds his wife Amy (by Rosamund Pike) is missing. Of course, he goes to the police, then calls her parents. After all, the mass media covers the disappearance of Amy. Day by day the influence of the press on Nick's life is rising. Meanwhile, we find out the details of daily life of the couple which make us change our mind over Nick. Did he kill his wife? All evidences give us broad hints about it.

Whereas, Nick convinces his sister in his innocence and tries to prove it to everyone else, it turns out that the disappearance of Amy was committed by .. Amy. But no one knows it yet.
Will someone reveal the truth?

To find out the answer you must see the movie.
You will have no regrets after all! The film is absolutely worth of watching!… Expand

As you can probably see I enjoyed it, a lot, I enjoyed it because it is such a complex and interesting movie, during its longevity you never feel bored, you never feel like you're watching useless entertainment, this movie is able to be brutal, thrilling, dramatic, and able to provoke all sorts of other feelings on you.
Now let's talk about the elements of the film, the acting was top-notch, amazing performances from Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike and of course all the other actors did an amazing job, like for instance Neil Patrick Harris did a great job and even Tyler Perry feels authentic and great. The way this film is shot is amazing, every frame is filled with information and detail, the soundtrack while not the most extravagant manages to be captivating and unique, David Fincher did an amazing job, his films feel like distinct universes and different realities than ours because of the uniqueness and complexity of the situations we see in his movies, kudos for all of this.
The plot is amazing, it's awesomely complex and so interesting, it manages to gather so many different themes in one storyline while making it feel very natural and realistic, the brutality in this film, the violence, the pressure, these are all elements that come in to make the film feel darker and darker as we go along, and damn, it's a hell of a ride.
The only downside that I find in this movie is the ending, I am not saying I dislike open endings but I feel like if we got a solid ending we would be more satisfied, as the movie takes most of it's time during the second act, it leaves the third act with less time than it should have had, this time could be used to develop the ending in a more solid ways, as it feels like some parts of it were chopped of for time's sake.
Ultimately I absolutely recommend everyone to go and watch this movie, it's a true masterpiece of today's cinema and the reason why I like movies so much, because this ain't just movie, this is an experience.… Expand

No spoilers, but when the big secret is revealed, I like how it is revealed halfway rather than the end, because the viewer feels more connected to the story if we know what is really going on. The performances by Affleck, Pike, and even Neil Patrick Harris are all nuanced in the right way as they bring these characters to life.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw Gone Girl when I was home for a week last Halloween, a time during which I was watching a combination of old James Bond films and schlocky slashers like Scream (1996) and Freddy vs. Jason (2003) all films which are more cheesy than scary. During my one trip to the cinema that week, Gone Girl was the film which kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a real thriller with horrifying scenes making it almost a horror film itself.

I’m not going to spoil details of a plot which works best as a mystery, but the premise is that Midwestern everyman Nick Dunne (Ben Afflek) returns home one day (his fifth wedding anniversary no less) to find his glamorous wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) missing. The ensuing media circus then throws Nick into suspicion.

The film’s strength is its manipulation of the viewer. We follow and side with Nick initially; Ben Afflek plays him as fairly neutral, a blank slate. Maybe he’s too passive in the face of his wife’s disappearance. Is he guilty or does he simply not know how to react? He seems likeable enough, but there’s something just behind it.

During the first act the couple’s relationship is told through flashbacks, incorporating segments of Amy’s diary, and we gradually begin to side with her. These dual narrative strands are apparently from the original wildly popular novel by Gillian Flynn, who wrote the screenplay. We must be in safe hands.

David Fincher, whose last film was the English-language remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, retains something of the Nordic noir to Gone Girl. The film is full of darkness, sex and violence. Camera angles are sweeping and the scenery both bleak and beautiful. At the heart of the film is an exploration of humanity which is divisive and ambiguous.

Though a long film, it is never boring. There was a point around halfway through when some kind of resolution seems to have been reached, but the film keeps going and the pace and intensity increases. Rosamund Pike’s role increases as the story progresses and without giving too much away, her performance is powerful.

Role and image are major themes. On some level, everyone is playing a part, deliberately projecting or hiding behind a facade. Amy has been fictionalised by her writer parents in the overblown, saccharine Amazing Amy books which she has never been able to live up to. She has a place in the public eye and this is why the press descends so rapidly on the case.

As the audience struggles to understand his psyche, Nick is struggling to appease the exploitative media. He hires Tanner Bolt (Tyler Perry), a lawyer specialising in image and defending suspected husbands. Perry’s role is dramatic but played with a much needed balancing touch of humour. Of note too is Neil Patrick Harris’s rare straight role as Amy’s ex-boyfriend Desi.

The music, from serene yet ominous ambient soundscapes to throbbing electronica was composed by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and his producer Atticus Ross who have collaborated on Fincher’s last two films. In keeping with the theses of this film, they have created a score which is simultaneously soothing and unnerving.

I’ll finish by acknowledging that there are some plot holes in the decidedly complicated narrative, particularly paper trails, alibis and the possible existence of exonerating security footage. Again, I won’t go into too much detail, but at one point a detective begins to question such a hole but is quickly shot down.

Presumably these details would come to light sometime later during the inevitable long investigation. The case ends far from closed. But the film is more than just the plot, which is nevertheless engaging. As a piece of film making, the themes, music and visuals remain powerful.… Expand

Early every autumn, there's one excellent studio movie released - a way to kick off the Oscar race and remind adult viewers that it's still possible to find intelligent, compelling movies in theaters. In 2014, that film is Gone Girl, GillianEarly every autumn, there's one excellent studio movie released - a way to kick off the Oscar race and remind adult viewers that it's still possible to find intelligent, compelling movies in theaters. In 2014, that film is Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn's adaptation of her own best-selling novel brought to the screen under the capable guidance of A-list director David Fincher. Fincher, who's no stranger to dark material (Seven and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo being examples), understands how to get the most out of Gone Girl and the result is 145 minutes of riveting drama and surprises. And, although the movie doesn't represent a page-by-page recreation of the book, it captures key aspects including multiple (sometimes unreliable) narrative perspectives, commentary on what "guilt" and "popularity" mean in today's media-saturated culture, and (of course) a Hitchcock-tilted storyline seeded with twists and turns.

This review will steer as clear as possible from spoilers but, if you haven't read the novel, you may want to stop here. The more fresh the experience, the better. Even a stripped-down synopsis of the premise could inadvertently give away things the uninitiated viewer might prefer to discover on his or her own. (Those who are familiar with the book are safe because, although there are some changes, the overall arc tracks closely to that of the novel, which is what one would expect when the author is also the screenwriter.)

If there's an overriding theme in Gone Girl, it's one of manipulation. Characters manipulate other characters. The media manipulates how the public thinks and lawyers and victims manipulate the media. Fincher isn't telling us anything new but he's reminding us how little concepts like "guilt" and "innocence" mean in the court of public opinion when the facts are twisted, handled, and withheld to make the story more compelling.

It can be difficult for any film to get two key aspects of Gone Girl right: unreliable narration and multiple perspectives. One need look no further than The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby to understand how a director's intentions aren't always conveyed. With Gone Girl, however, Fincher succeeds against all odds. By the time the end credits roll, we have a clear picture of what did (and didn't) transpire.

By intention, Gone Girl feels like two different movies grafted together. The first half is more cerebral and closer to a police procedural. Nick jokingly refers to an episode of Law & Order and there's some truth to the comparison, although the movie is crafted at a higher level than the write-by-numbers standards of a weekly TV series. The Basic Instinct similarities are amplified during the second half which features a wealth of lurid material. There are some minor pacing issues toward the very end when the movie perhaps overstays its welcome by a few minutes.

Even the best thrillers often follow predictable trajectories regardless of how many narrative switchbacks and red herrings they employ. Although some of what happens in Gone Girl is expected, the progression of the storyline is at times so inventive that it doesn't matter whether all the traditional surprises work. Fincher and Flynn recognize they're not going to be able to shock viewers with every twist so they allow us to guess some things in order to keep others hidden. Gone Girl is a rare movie: a delicious thriller that provides plenty of titillation and gruesome pleasure while offering a dollop of social commentary. It's smart, twisted, bloody, and almost guaranteed to satisfy anyone with a penchant for the macabre.… Expand

A thoroughly entertaining and thoughtful film. Twisted, enough so to make your stomach turn a few times, and inventive, but also timely.

There are dramatic conceits to be sure, but anyone who thinks that a woman can't be this crazy hasn'tA thoroughly entertaining and thoughtful film. Twisted, enough so to make your stomach turn a few times, and inventive, but also timely.

There are dramatic conceits to be sure, but anyone who thinks that a woman can't be this crazy hasn't been following the news. Far from being misogynistic, if anything it's hard on men, portraying Nick as a loser who can't control his sex drive and the rest of the movie's men as being dupes and fools. The women, conversely, range from the titular Machiavellian **** from Hell to Nick's loyal twin sister, the one genuinely competent police officer, the predatory ratings-driven talk show host, the innocent coed, and yes, a variety of dupes and fools as well. If any film has attacked gender politics more smartly and more fairly, I've not seen it.

And it makes for a thrilling ride. An audience desensitized to violence will likely be upset by some of the scenes. Piercing cultural critiques and sarcastically written laugh lines alternate with disturbing plot twists. And how often can you say "man, Tyler Perry was perfect in that role"? I wish they had held the main plot twist a bit longer, and, like the book, alternated more into the titular character's perspective, but despite these narrative shortcomings, the movie we did get is well worth watching.… Expand

We have Ben Affleck playing a desperate dick husband, he tries to make the media and everyone us believe that he did not kill his wife (or had anything else to do with the disappearance). Rosamund Pike is even slightly better than Affleck's character. Kim Dickens character was really amusing as the detective. Carrie Coon's character "Margo" was had a good comedic presence to the screen, but at times the stuff she says sometimes can be at the wrong time so that's what i guess. I am not sure if this film is gonna impact Perry's career, but it'll get the guy a better role. Neil Patrick Harris' character is awkward and lovely at times. But the ending is stupid!

Particularly with it's main character. A brilliant and huge twist that changes everything makes this a very different movie when it happens.

The longer it progresses the more tense and involving it becomes. It's not afraid to get dark. The way it presents every aspect is amazing. The way the general public reacts to new information shows how easily people's perceptions are twisted when they really have no idea what's going on, but truly want to. Dialog flows meticulously and is believable. The cast is fantastic and they play characters who feel like real people. Real, twisted people.

It's a masterfully written thriller. One that perhaps does go excessive with it's mature content at times, but this is a mature story so it's to be expected. This is one for an adult audience who enjoys slower, more detailed focused movies. If you're looking for a thriller with a lot of action the look elsewhere. This one is grounded in realism and manipulation as opposed to bullets and punches.

I give "Gone Girl" a 9.8/10.… Expand

As I am quite impatient person. Predictability, though, is something else - 2 or 3 times it felt like I know what will happen in the next 15 minutes. And this is not a compliment to my prediction skills.
On the upside, this might be the only problem I can find with it.
From the start I got that typical "fiction" movie feel, and I get used to it fast. Then it was all about what will happen and not about how believable the events are (like a crime fiction should be - so that's ok).… Expand

Amy Dunne: "This man might honestly,truly kill me".

The story is about Nick Dunne, as he finds out his wife has gone missing. As increasing police and media pressure mount, the facade of a loving and blissful union crumbles and amidst the lies and behavior of Nick, the question remains - did he kill her?

I have to say that David Fincher is a true master class of directing, because Gone girl is one of the best films of this year. Ben Affleck was perfect for this role, because Ben Affleck through out his career had a lot of hate from the media and the critics that mostly slammed him in every role that he was in. And that's why he was outstanding in this movie. Rosamund Pike acting in this film was pure brilliant and spectacular. She was so good in this role she might get a Oscar nomination for this. Tyler Perry in this movie was actually pretty damn good, and am so surprise saying that because Mr. Perry was in such awful films like: MADEA trilogy, Alex cross and the list goes on. But in this movie he did good.

What this movie does so brilliantly well is how we view media today, because most of the stories you hear on the news might not be true and how the media can spread lies about people and ruining they lives. Everybody always believes what the media says even if it's true or not, because we don't know what that person on the news is going through, and this movie got that message out they so perfectly.

My only problem with this movie is Neil Patrick Harris character. Now let me just say that Neil Patrick Harris wasn't terrible in the movie, but his character to me slowed the film down for me. Overall Gone Girl is a fantastic film and it's the movie to see.… Expand

Everything about this film is absolutely stunning. The atmosphere, combined with wonderful aesthetic details, embraces you and sucks you inside the suspense of the movie, not allowing you to leave because you might miss a crucial scene (and you just never know when those might appear). The cast is brilliant, especially Rosamund Pike, who deserved her Oscar nomination in every aspect, and Tyler Perry, who proved to be an absolute scene stealer almost every time. Fincher once again proved his class and his mastery in the thriller/crime genre and I am certainly looking forward to his next work. It is truly a dreadful decision of the Academy not to give Fincher and this movie at leas a nomination, but... well, those are the Oscars for you. In any case, a brilliant work of art that manages to elevate both Fincher's skills and the genre onto a completely new level.… Expand

It's a faithful and expertly paced rendition, in-keeping with that book's uniquely nonlinear style, unreliable narration and clever use of red herrings, even if it is perhaps too cerebral for its own good and somewhat overpraised and underwhelming given the hyperbole. Nonetheless, Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck are perfectly cast - this is a breakout role for Pike and a career-best performance by Affleck. Neil Patrick Harris, on the other hand, was miscast and his character doesn't have the necessary development in the film as he does in the book. Likewise, Tyler Perry is underused. But this still another worthy entry to David Fincher's repertoire which includes similarly good adaptations of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Fight Club". It's certainly a must-see for fans of the book.… Expand

The film also manages to be a very entertaining thriller that has you gripped from the first scene as our protagonist Nick, portrayed by Ben Affleck, tries to figure out what has happened to his wife Amy, played by Rosamund Pike who absolutely steals the show. Gone Girl is smart, slick and enthralling psychological thriller that i recommend everybody to watch. Biggest flaws is probably the fact that the film is rather long (i needed to pee real bad) and the fact that after things became clear the film changes past which I found a little jarring and the conclusion is very dream-like and takes away from the realism of which the film presented from the beginning.… Expand

O filme é denso, cheio de camadas, que vão dês das claras e óbvias mostradas na história, até outras mais profundas abordando temas como desonestidade, "manter as aparências", problemas financeiros, e tudo mais, e como isso interfere diretamente em uma relação. Além de dar um tapa na cara da mídia sensacionalista. O filme teve excelentes críticas no mundo inteiro, e foi o que me fez querer ver. Em vários prêmios, teve várias indicações e ganhou vários prêmios de melhor roteiro, melhor direção, melhor atriz principal e até, acredite, melhor ator principal para Ben Affleck !!! É um filme que recomendo!!… Expand

Fans of the book will enjoy it to as it is faithfully represented on screen but won’t love it as much due to the omission of certain lines and sequences that prevent the story from having that extra umph. Nontheless, it is still a good film that is definitely worth the watch just don’t go in thinking it will be all sunshine and lollypops.… Expand

One of the best performances by a female in a leading role of 2014, Rosamund is a total revelation, what a juicy, dark and crazy role. Outstanding job. Ben Affleck is also very good in his role and seems like he keeps growing as an actor (apart from as a director). The film is long but doesn´t feel like it. You want more. Its slightly corny tone at times is totally intended although it may not be for everybody. My biggest complain would be that the ending drags a little bit, which I was loving until the film ended, because suddenly I realized it didn´t leave me totally satisfied. But still great and a really surprising film thanks to its very misleading promotional campaign, which is always something to be thankful for.… Expand

The direction is nicely made but Fincher has done better, yet his signature style is not detatched from this title.

Although an entertaining film, Gone Girl does not rank as one of the best movies of the year. The storyline is outlandish and Ben Affleck does not put in a great performance. The direction is also so-so.

This movie has many unexpected twists, and you can never predict what is going to happen, so it keeps surprising you every time, and it keeps you attached to the screen paying attention. It has some terrific acting (mainly by Rosamund Pike), and it's very well directed and written. I also really liked how this movie criticised media, showing how they get into real stories and change them just for getting more rating. I didn't like, though, Neil Patrick Harris in the movie. He is an excellent comedian, but he just wasn't the right person for the role. Another thing I didn't like about this film, but is something very important, is how "cold" and "soulless" it can sometimes get to be.
But anyway, don't miss Gone Girl, for sure.… Expand
