Every bit as good as the book

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2014)

Gone Girl is one of the best books I have read for a long time. It's a completely engrossing story that is incredibly dark and twisted. The film is every bit as good and exactly as I envisaged everything when reading.
The film is an edge of the seat, nerve shredding thriller that really gets the viewer thinking. Even though I knew what was going to happen it still had my heart racing. The style, pacing and direction is spot on from David Fincher and the cast are all fantastic. Ben Affleck and of course Rosamund Pike will get a lot of praise (much deserved) but I also enjoyed Carrie Coon's performance as Go.
This film is just incredible storytelling about a really twisted subject. It's a straight up 10/10 for me and goes in to my top 3 for 2014. My only criticism is that I wish the ending could've been slightly different but at least it stayed true to the book (bar a couple of minor things).
Highly recommended.
