Gone Girl is an exciting, scary, fearless and overwhelming movie.

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2014)

If you like good suspense movies you'll love this one. The movie starts with Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) driving to a bar. When he comes back home he sees his living room destroyed. He then realizes his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) is missing. Everybody starts thinking Nick killed his wife, media starts accusing him and police start to find evidence that Nick killed his wife. The story starts to get complicated and there are a few twists that will blow your mind.
David Fincher directed this movie (he also directed Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network) and Gillian Flynn wrote the amazing script adapted from the novel she published back in 2012. Fincher was able to tell the complex story very well. He also mixed the two points of view, Amy's and Nick's, and that was very cool. I liked Fincher's past films so I had a good feeling about this movie, and I wasn't disappointed. Gone Girl is full of exciting plot twists and unexpected scenes that make the movie super crazy. It's pretty long (about 2 hours and a half) but it feels shorter than that.
The cast is wonderful. Ben Affleck did a great job on this movie and Rosamund Pike too. Rosamund's performance as Amy was stunning. The character she was playing is a very difficult one and she did it incredibly well. I can't say a lot since I'll probably spoil a little bit the movie, but her performance will keep you on the edge of your seat. Ben Affleck's acting is also great. You can see Nick and Amy's marriage wasn't going well when you watch Nick's reaction when he arrives home and notices his living room is destroyed and his wife missing.
The shots are beautiful and the soundtrack, made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, matches every scene perfectly. The music is very intense at certain times which makes the movie even more interesting.
If you like good suspense movies, you should definitely go check this one out.
