Rating: 2/10 (11 February 2015)

Gone Girl: Psychopaths And Woman Beaters.
The first segment in the movie, shows Nick and Amy Dunne's marriage, played by Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. One day Amy mysteriously disappears, all attention is on Nick as his reactions to the disappearing of his wife are distant and unsettling.
After Nick is almost proved guilty, it is revealed that Amy planted all of the evidence in an attempt to get revenge on her husband. We were all on her side at this point. Amy's diary revealed that Nick had beaten and sexually abused her as well as used all of her savings on senseless buys. And then the film completely lost me.
Amy reveals she faked the entire thing. Nick was not an abuser. It is further understood Amy has a history of making false rape accusations, and more. The film makes you sympathize with Nick, as he has become a victim of a psychopathic wife. However, Nick still remains an incredibly unlikeable character who was taking advantage of a 20-year-old.
Amy then returns to her dissatisfied husband. At this point, I had completely given up on the film and was just waiting to see Nick leave his psychopathic wife. Of course that won't happen, instead the film ends with Nick being trapped with Amy after she confesses that she stole his sperm and impregnated herself.
"Gone Girl" had great potential, but its plot twists ruined the film. The acting was decent, but the direction completely blurred the message, if there even was a message. At times, even the actors looked like they couldn't believe how terrible the film was.
Ultimately, "Gone Girl" was unsatisfying and deeply disturbing, but not in a good way. The film tried way too hard to shock the audience, but simply left us confused and deeply regretting ever even watching it.
"Gone Girl" was simply a huge waste of two hours.
