A brilliantly twisted thriller

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2014)

I couldn't wait to see "Gone girl." I've loved most of David Finchers movies, with "Seven" and "Zodiac" being 2 movies I can't get enough of. Not to mention that word of mouth was saying it was another masterpiece, and it is. Its awesome.
This Moody thriller sees Ben Affleck as the centre of attention as his wife Rosamund Pike goes missing. From here I don't really want to give anything else away. As the movie really does go in as many different directions as you could possibly squeeze into a 2 and a half hour long flick. I was thinking I had it sussed at first. Knowing that there were a couple of twists on the horizon. But the fact that it can mislead you so easily is probably the reason why the film has become as popular as it has become. There is virtually no way you will predict where this movie is going, and when you think you have. Your wrong.
"Gone girl" is a brilliantly twisted thriller that has a dark and complicated plot that will have you hooked on a film that manages to breath new life into the careers of many of its stars too. Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris impress with their serious performances (though the film has a sarcastic sense of humour at times too). But the breakout star here is one time "Bond girl" Pike, who is actually amazing as the "gone girl" of the title.
