Everyone involved did a great job

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2014)

That includes Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Tyler Perry and the unknown actors in the rest of the cast. Affleck and Perry really surprised me and Pike could get some serious Oscar recognition for this. She played the Amy I pictured from the book so well it was scary...she made such an unrealistic character feel so REAL. I'll be surprised if she isn't nominated and if Ben doesn't get some recognition too. I still can't believe how much I liked Tyler Perry in it, he was fantastic.
This was pretty expected but David Fincher really did the book justice. He gave it the same respect he showed Dragon Tattoo, although this was a bit more faithful to the source material, and he emitted the perfect tone of darkness that was needed. He really knows how to take a twisted, disturbing novel about the demented side of human nature and make it feel real. Given the right cast (with Rooney Mara in Dragon Tattoo and with Rosamund Pike in this) he just knows how to make it scary and skin-crawlingly real. I know it made my skin crawl.
