The Gist: The sudden disappearance of a woman from her home ends up enveloping her husband, parents, and townsfolk into a media frenzy, all the while the investigation gets more tangled up as time goes by.
I’m a big David Fincher fan and this is another example of his great talent. Gone Girl is a terrific movie that keeps you on edge and fully interested from beginning to end. Its many twists make you go “aha” more than once.
I actually find it hard to believe that this movie didn’t get a Best Picture nomination. Rosamund Pike did get nominated though and she does a fantastic job of portraying the scorned wife.
The Bottom Line: Gone Girl is a great thriller, well written, well paced, well acted, and totally satisfying. Very much recommended.
Grade: 9
