GONE GIRL - A Movie Review

[Georgephilips]

Gone Girl is a 2014 psychological thriller based on the novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn. This myster and suspense, drama movie directed by David Fincher has been called ''dark, intelligent and stylish to a fault'' by critics. The cast includes Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne, while Tyler Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, David Clennon and Carrie Croon potray other major characters. On the fifth wedding anniversary of Nick and Amy Dunne, Nick comes home from the bar he and his sister, Margo own to find Amy missing. Being the inspiration for her parents' popular ''Amazing Amy'' children's books, finding Amy becomes the primary goal of the media. An investigation under Detective Rhonda Boney as well as Nick's awkward behaviour arouses the suspscion that Nick is guilty. Later, it turns out that Amy is alive, having framed Nick all along as their failed marriage has made her despise him. However, after Nick appears on a talk show and talks about her, she changes her mind and returns, claiming that Desi, her ex-boyfriend had kidnapped and abused her. Though Boney questions her, the FBI sides with Amy. She later tells Nick the entire truth, saying that she wants him to be the Nick he was on the talk show. Nick shares this with Margo, Boney and his lawyer, Bolt, but they have no way of proving Amy guilty. Amy then reveals she is pregnant, having artificially inseminated herself. The movie ends with Nick being forced to stay married to her as he feels responsible for the child. This psychological thriller is the kind of movie that haunts you for a while, making you think. It brings out another side of marriage and raises a question : ''should you ever trust anyone?''. Gone Girl really is a must- watch movie.

Seems like one intriguing and intresting movie!

The movie was a pathetic adaptation of the the brilliant book

I did not like the movie at all. My expectations were high given its genre but the plot disappointed me.

I liked the movie. I enjoyed the suspense throughout and the twist. I found it to be filmed in way that kept me intrigued.

I loved this movie! It was suspenseful and really kept my attention. I have not read the book yet. I heard that it is so much better than the movie. It is on my bucket list of stuff to read

As sociopathic as Amy was, I kinda liked her.
