Very original, with few flaws.

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2014)

This is a very original story for the genre of murder-mystery. The clichés are limited to the individual moments, versus the greater story.
However, it tends to become stale halfway into the movie, due the fact the movie's main question is answered and we are left wondering, "what's next?"
The style of the film is beautiful and Fincher does a great job managing the performances. Hats off to Ben Affleck for his subtle and believable performance.
Overall, a great contribution to the genre.
