Always curious to see how a director will bring a wonderfully written novel to life- and Gone Girl asked a lot, but Fincher aced it. The cast is absolutely brilliant. Every single person played their roles well, but main props go to Rosemund. There really couldn't have been a stronger lead actor. Ben held his own too. Major plus for the soundtrack and Rezner as well. My only critique has to do with "Amy's descovery interview" scene. It's unreasonable that they would leave blood all over her and talk to her/send her home that way. I'm not a cop just seems like... no. Other than that directional choice- everything is brilliant.

Gone Girl is a Lifetime style film on steroids. Amy (Rosamund Pike) and Nick (Ben Affleck) are in a less than perfect marriage. Nick sees Amy as his trophy wife, sex object, and cash cow. Amy is heir of a children's book heir. Nick is between jobs who spends time with his twin sister Margo (Carrie Coon) at The Bar playing board games. When Amy goes missing on their fifth anniversary, Nick is less than forthcoming and with clues mounting, they are all pointing at him as a suspect .Part of the film involves the media frenzy surrounding the case. Tyler Perry enters the film late as a high priced attorney. And Neil Patrick Harris enters the film very late. The film uses flashbacks to show us their lives.This is a nice "straight forward" twisty tale. You watch and try to figure things out with Kim Dickens, wondering where things are going to go. Once we know for certain what happened to Amy, the film loses some of its appeal.The movie had a Lifetime feel to it. Good entertainment, but not something that needs to be seen on the big screen.Parental Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex. Nudity (Rosamund Pike, Emily Ratajkowski)

Is not a bad movie. But the story is kind too much predictable. And has bad poor "plot twist".Its good to pass some time, but doesn't look like a Fincher movie.

This was a bad plot, too many gaps, and a sudden ending. we were like what happened now?
