Very Thrilling and an Absolutely Engaging Movie..Special note to the Music - It's Outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2014)

Being the one who has read the book, I was looking forward to watch the movie and see what the story looks like given in the hands of immensely skillful Mr. David Fincher.
It is a relief to finally know that the movie is very much true to the book with few changes here and there.This is a great example of a book condensed into a feature film.I think the advantage here is that the author of the book is herself the writer of film and she has kept all the twists and the dark tone of the book in the film as well.
What makes the movie even more engaging and darker is the beautiful, thrill inducing music by Trent Reznor & Attics Ross.The music is bound to get its deserving appreciation and applause.
The performances given by the leading couple Ben Affleck(playing Nick Dunne) and Rosamund Pike(as Amy Elliot) are mesmerizing and a revelation. Singling out the performance given by Rosamund Pike,she has done an excellent job giving both the beauty and the darker Amy flawlessly. Kim Dickens(as Rhonda Boney) is at her best here.Carrie Coon(as Mar"Go" Dunne) is amazing and gives a great performance as Nick's twin. The only letdown in terms of performances is Neil Patrick Harris(as Desi Collings).In some way, he did not play the Desi the way I wanted him to be.
Overall,Two thumbs up for both David Fincher and Gillian Flynn for succeeding in adapting the book into the film.I really enjoyed the movie.Even though there were few(or many) changes done in the film,it ultimately triumphs in presenting the same concept,tone and story as that of the book.
