Misunderstood

Rating: 8/10 (22 March 2017)

I've read a lot of user reviews of this movie which give it a score of one out of ten and sight numerous plot holes as the reason. I believe that all these people are mistaken in their assessment. The point is, the fact that the story that Amy Dunne tells the police when she finally comes back is full of holes is intentional. The crime scene at the start of the movie was meant to be poor. The whole way through the film, Nick Dunne feels like he's going crazy because it seems no one else can see these holes.
I think it's meant to be a striking commentary on how the mass media and mob mentality can molded to believe any story regardless of the facts present. Nick even says at one point: 'They disliked me, they liked me. They hated me and now they love me.' That line sets the tone of the thinking of the people and the story being constructed by the media.
It's a very well made movie. I've always enjoyed David Fincher's work but I'm sad to say I think many people missed the point of this movie.
