It's clever, funny, something a little different.

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2019)

I have a huge amount of love for Gone Girl, it helped to re-ignite interest into a genre of films that had really started to die off, the mystery. I firmly believe Gone Girl inspired the likes of Girl on the Train to be made, another great book in its own right, but Gone Girl showed that a mystery could be made into a movie that would pack out cinemas.
I read the book and loved it, I loved the film too, I thought the characterisations were superb, so my words are based purely on the film.
You'd think they're the couple that had everything, she's successful, beautiful, wealthy, charismatic, the perfect wife. He's handsome, funny, with a jaw line you'd kill for, but not all is at it seems.
The plot is awesome, the misdirection is excellent, an hour in, and you realise that what you thought was happening isn't necessarily so.
Terrific, great music, well acted, humorous, it's a cracker. 9/10
