Stylish and entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2014)

On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Amy vanishes from her home. When her husband Nick returns home, their front door is open. There are signs of struggle in the house. After a first visit of the police, a more thorough crime scene investigation follows. Amy has a special way to celebrate anniversaries for the last years by organizing treasure hunts for Nick. During the investigation clue one is found in the kitchen. When Nick and a pair of detectives follow up on the first clue in Nick's office, things take a turn when the clue hints to Nick having an affair.
This is another stylish thriller by David Fincher based on the bestseller by Gillian Flynn, who was also responsible for the screenplay. Fincher cleverly makes use of non chronological storytelling by way of flashbacks for a better understanding of the relationship between Nick and Amy through time. The Ross/Reznor score is subtle but effectively creates an unique and fitting sound scape.
Personally, I am a bit ambivalent about the ending. The final resolution is thought provoking, but certain decisions made by the main characters feel a bit 'off'.
