Overrated with obvious holes in plot and very unsatisfying ending

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2014)

Too much was said about this movie so let's get to the point. 1. Granted that Amy was a troubled woman (we discover that when we find out how she framed her ex lover as being a rapist) but there was never a profound problem in her current marriage to summon such intense action. Don't forget that she officially and supposedly forever killed herself as Amy before she had to change the plan and she was not nobody but a successful writer from a rich family so if she was Amy the maid who wanted to kill Amy the maid after running away with some serious cash to re-invent herself as lats say Jane, I would buy the story. But Amy the successful writer from a rich family killing her name for a husband way inferior to her in social class, physically torturing herself, hitting herself on the cheek with hammer and to live in a cabin swarmed with bedbugs... that's just ridiculous! Nick appeared to be a good husband, actually he never wasted her wife's money as she claimed. All he did was having an affair which looked pretty normal given the state of their marriage.
2. VIDEO CAMERAS! We saw some scenes that she tried to play victim in front of the cameras but to make the scheme work, she had to access the records, modify them and etc, pretty much something like the "Rising Sun" movie which was obviously out of the scope of her ability in this movie. The movie could work beautiful without those stupid and ridiculously plotted video cameras.
3. Amy was recorded in the casino, a redneck couple just robbed her, a costumer in casino almost recognized her... so many traces left behind could easily lead to and expose her.
4. The ending were the worst. My guess is that in original script, she was supposed to get caught but David Fincher decided to give it an intellectual ending and as a result, the script was hastily edited and of course some holes in the plot left behind. Probably he wished to aim for Oscars with this move which I hope he never wins ans he greatly ruined a could be great movie.
