An excellent thriller made by a master filmmaker

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2016)

I seriously believe David Fincher is one of the most talented directors working in film today. The way he's composed and worked on such a variety of different thrillers is amazing, and has one of the best track records of a director in recent memory. Gone Girl, now a little over 2 years old, is still a masterpiece and holds up as the best of the best of the ongoing decade so far.
Taking place in a Missouri town, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) are a happily married couple who are living the dream, but when his wife goes missing, and more and more clues are revealed, Nick Dunne must prove the claim of his involvement in his wife's disappearance.
Fincher gets so much right with this. The tone, the editing, the cinematography, and the acting all come together so beautifully to make a near perfect film in the mystery crime drama. Twists at every turn, and a plot so intriguing it keeps you engaged for the rather lengthy 2 and a half hour plus runtime. Rosamund Pike shines as Amy Dunne, and Ben Affleck continues to impress with one of his best roles to date.
I cannot recommend this film enough. It's a masterpiece made by a masterful director. Ever since it's release, I've gone back to this about 6 or 7 times. It's THAT good. Don't miss out on a sure fire classic.
