Gone Girl is a decent thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2016)

Thrilling and disturbing. By far, David Fincher's best movie. Intertwined with disturbing appearances of the main characters, the movie is filled with odd occurrences and dark comedy. It contains enough suspense and mystery to keep the audience gripping at the edge of their seats. The movie is about a former writer Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) and his glamorous wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) who present themselves as a lovely, endearing couple to the public. However, the image of their perfect union is shattered when Nick's wife goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary and Nick becomes the primary suspect of her disappearance. This description of plot might not sound interesting but the twist is that the wife, Amy has planned her disappearance and has left clues for the police in order to framing her husband for her disappearance because he was unfaithful and cheated on her with another woman. In the end, the police find Amy and the couple surprisingly stay together. However, the couple does not stay together but because Amy has once again cunningly forced Nick into staying. Nick know he has no choice but to continue this relationship and maintain his faithfulness in order to protect his child from the child's mother, Amy. In this movie, Ben Affleck takes on the role of a man with a serious personality like he normally does and does an excellent job with executing his role. However, Rosamund Pike did an even better job at executing her role. She had a hard job. Rosamund Pike had to step out of her comfort zone and play the role of a cunning yet crazy woman, an interesting combination, which she took on magnificently. In addition, the combination of the eerie music and dark lighting at certain scenes throughout the movie provided an intense, suspenseful atmosphere. With the actors' fantastic acting skills and Fincher's incredible cinematic skills, the story of the dysfunction couple's love and communication magically comes to life. I would recommend this movie to someone that is looking for an exciting thriller who is not afraid of disturbing content and concepts.
