Gone off the rails Girl

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2014)

Here's a fun movie. If you think you are in a bad relationship see what Nick Dunne has to endure.
There are a few problems. How did the cat get into the bedroom? How did a supposedly tied up Amy get that box cutter? Why would the successful Neil Patric Harris character have no life? They don't have showers in the hospital?
A similar "bad girl" in "Body Heat" had more motivation. Here the leading lady was more like a female Norman Bates.
The movie has a great setup. The flashback of the leads meeting and romancing with the sugar cloud makes both character likable. As things progress you are yanked around by a clever story and your attitude towards the characters changes.
At two and a half hours it is a tad long. There are giant holes and some things feel forced, but it is entertaining. It plays well in the dark on the big screen. See it in a theater.
