Marvelous Work by David Fincher

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2019)

Gone Girl is a film that makes you feel the increase of tension by the minute. The preface might seem baffling as the husband claimed to have the urge to break the skull of his wife. As the story unfolded, however, the intricate relations between the couple was to be revealed.
Being a graduate from Ivy League, the wife is a quite ambitious woman, authoring a well-known series book. After marriage, her discontent has been fermented due to his husband's indifferent attitude. Her diary counted the process in which their happy union gradually turned sour. While everyone was suspecting that the husband might have murdered the wife and afterwards made a rather clumsy attempt at disguising it as an abduction, the storyline took a drastic turn. It turned out that the wife orchestrated the whole incident to set up her husband. As the story continues to pan out, the cold-blooded personality of the wife is to be completely exhibited.
The performance of the two protagonists was commendable, which also helped to justify the bizarre plot of the film.
