Hit and Miss

Rating: 2/10 (2 December 2018)

Is the only appropriate description for David Fincher's career. Producing greats like Fight Club and Se7en, but not to forget his debut, Alien 3. Gone Girl could've had so much potential - if it was 20 minutes shorter and didn't follow a frankly predictable direction, including the so-called 'twist'. The same can be said for the soundtrack, particularly during the break-in scene.
The redemption (and extra star for the review) of the film for me is Affleck and Pike's performances.
Ultimately, an adaptation that does not do the source material justice.
