One of the best mystery films I've ever seen

Rating: 9/10 (6 August 2016)

Gone Girl is a mystery thriller film starring Ben Affleck and directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network etc.), based on the novel of the same name. It was excellent, one of the best mystery films I've ever seen. It was very well paced and kept my attention the entire time. Ben Affleck was great too. I think it's safe to say he's well and truly redeemed himself by now.
The story focuses on a man named Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck), whose wife Amy (Rosamund Pike), amid their failing marriage and losing both their jobs, suddenly goes missing one morning. Due to the amounting evidence against him and the way the media portrays him, Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect for her disappearance.
As I mentioned previously, Ben Affleck was great in this movie. It showed the potential he has to be a good Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming Batman VS Superman film. The direction by David Fincher was excellent as well. All of his director's trademarks were there, from his silhouetted dimly lit scenes to his ambient musical score composed by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails.
I rate it 9/10. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery films and the work of director David Fincher.
