Sick and Twisted

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2019)

Gone Girl is sick and twisted. Wonderfully dark yet grotesquely brutal. A worringly realistic representation of a marriage on the rocks with two secretive and unstable characters. Both acted to the very highest level. This roller coaster of a movie plays on a perfectly plotted stage, medias power and the strength of a broken man. One thing let this movie down, its ending. After twists, turns and shocks I was expecting so much more from its finale. A miscarriage to what was a perfect build up. For this it lost half a star however this was regained due to raw and electrifying acting from Affleck and Pike. Plus equally majestic directing from the master of mystery thriller movies, David Fincher.
