Great Movie

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2014)

Gone Girl is the latest movie directed by David Fincher. Fincher is one of the few directors who can sell a film in his own right after movies such as Fight Club and Seven. It's great to report that Gone Girl can be added to the list of impressive movies he's directed.
The film centres around the disappearance of Amy Dunne(Rosamund Pike) who is married to Nick (Ben Afflick). The story is told in a series of flash backs and flash forwards as we gradually get to know all the characters and the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. The first 30 minutes or so is slightly slow, but is important as it gives an insight into all the main characters. The rest of the movie is spellbinding and has numerous twists and turns. I suspect if you stopped and thought about it for a bit some parts probably don't really hang together, but it's so well done nobody (well I guess some people will!) is going to complain about that.
Pike is absolutely brilliant in the lead role and manages to outshine Afflick which is quite a compliment!
