Unsophisticated, ending a big let down

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2015)

A woman tries to frame her cheating husband for her disappearance and murder.
There are a number of serious issues that makes Gone Girl a mediocre story:
The police look like idiots. Their investigative process is nothing like what happens in the real world. The story lacks suspense. The ending is a huge let down.
It is unfortunate the author of Gone Girl was given the job as screenwriter. Perhaps if a seasoned screenwriter had been given the adaptation job, Gone Girl would have been a clever and sophisticated movie instead of what it is: mediocre.
Don't waste your time with Gone Girl. Skip it for a the tautly suspenseful Tell No One.
