Thrilling and intense, great acting, not a big fan of the ending though

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2014)

Gone Girl stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, as the weirdest couple I've seen. Ever. This movie is really good, I was very excited to see it, more so because it's in Fincher's "area of expertise", the suspense/murder genre, though it has some pretty hilarious parts. And the excitement paid off.
Ben Affleck plays Nick Dunne, a regular guy who one day comes home to find that his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike) is missing. A big search begins, etc. and Nick sees himself under media scrutiny when people begin to think he might have murdered her. Other important characters are Desi Collings(Neil Patrick Harris) an ex-stalker of Amy's, who is still in love with her, he's like crazy obsessed with her, Tanner Bolt, Dunne's lawyer (Tyler Perry) and Margo Dunne, his sister (Carrie Coon). I thought the cast was absolutely amazing, really, everyone's acting is spot on, but special props to Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike and Tyler Perry, those 3 were beyond amazing, hopefully no one else will think Affleck is a bad actor, because he was really good here, probably because he has been under media scrutiny for a good part of his life, and Tyler Perry, guy was incredible, I honestly didn't think he had it in him, due to all those Madea movies. And Pike, holy nuts, that woman, wow, Oscar contender, for sure. She just creeps you out, it's on some other s***.
The movie's script is great, every piece of dialogue makes sense and is in the right place, as the story unfolds it leaves you wanting to know more, everything that happens in the wake of Amy's disappearance is very intriguing, and that's pretty much what a movie like this needs to have, intrigue, but it has a lot more. Gillian Flynn managed to put in some nice humor, which felt in no way unnecessary or stuffed in, and it gives the movie a bigger entertainment factor. Another incredible thing in the movie is the soundtrack, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did an amazing job, like they did in The Social Network, which has their music as well. The script and the soundtrack help each other grow as the film progresses, giving more depth to the story, along with the great directing by Fincher, every scene is complemented by the sound, the dialogue and the cinematography.
The story is truly very interesting and exciting. The ending though, really really bad. It made no sense to me, and was completely incoherent. Also, there were quite a few things that were not realistic at all, and a lot of the story didn't make sense. It's still very intriguing. Despite the crap ending, and a bunch of incoherent stuff, I hope this film gets a few Oscar nods, etc. because it's a good film and has some things worth nominating.
