Story is "Meh," but Fincher shows off directing chops again.

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2014)

As a huge David Fincher film, I liked it. However, I felt that it never really was able to successfully get its feet underneath itself. Mood seemed to be one of its major problems. Secondly, the character of Amy was brilliantly portrayed by Rosamund Pike. BUt too often I thought the character was a bit over the top. Many times I found myself whispering to myself that there was no way a person would go this far to reach the goal they wished to achieve. On the directing side, Fincher never disappoints with shot selection and lighting. He is a master of lighting or there lack of. I though this was more of a tight script than say Zodiac, his worst film in my opinion, but nowhere near the masterpieces of Se7en, The Game or Fight Club.
