Good, but ultimately gets boring due to the long running time.

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2018)

The film was nominated for 93 awards, and won 28 - most of which went to Rosamund Pike and writer Gillian Flynn. I admit, it was a very good film. Quite fascinating actually as new evidence surface and with a twist around every corner. The plot literally thickens every step of the way, and gets particularly interesting when the victim's 'fate' is revealed halfway through the film. The stakes then get so much higher! Rosamund Pike was indeed good as the titular gone girl, but I thought Kim Dickens was exceptionally good as Detective Rhonda. I did, however, find the film a bit slow moving, as if I wanted to give it a push at times. The film runs 149 minutes, which I found overlong. Way too many scenes were unnecessarily dragged out. The pace could have been greatly improved with shorter scenes.
