"Gone Girl"--Fast and Furious

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2014)

Sometimes, while bringing a book to life in a movie, a lot is lost in translation—-not in this case. Both the book and the film are so damn good, perhaps because the extraordinary author, Gillian Flynn, is also the screenwriter and she knows what is an essential distillation of the narrative.
The movie is a fast-paced dark and dangerous ride directed by the remarkable David Fincher ("Social Network", and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"). Like the novel, the film leaves you questioning how well you truly know those around you, perhaps especially the person you married. Are there secrets you may never know?
