Um, what?

Rating: 4/10 (9 October 2014)

8.6, people? Really? This has to be some kind of joke. Reading all the other reviews its clear that people are rating Fincher and not the film. This film was a solid 4, 5 at best. It is absolutely riddled with plot holes that make it so unrealistic that its infuriating. Yet it seemed to blow over 90% of your heads. Hmm. Let me say though that it is directed very well and has great music to make it intense, but thats it. I thought the performances were good, but Rosamund Pike was just so monotone and boring. Reminded me of Julianne Moore's performance in that god awful film about nothing... Safe. Creepy, yes, but very boring and uninteresting. I thought the sister did very well though so good for her. Honestly though, every performance should be good in every film. Thats why those actors make it to Hollywood in the first place. Right? I feel like people are rating this so high because of its shock factor. "Oh I didn't expect that to happen, 10/10!!!!!!" Like, what!?!? Lets make every plot less predictable and every new film will make it in the IMDb top 250! Hurray! Ugh. I truly cannot comprehend how this is so high. Its blowing my mind. Its higher than bloody Lawrence of Arabia! (at time of writing) Which is the best film evaaaa. How? Who? Ill tell ya who. Fincher! If people would stop touching themselves over the thought of Fincher and his past work than this film would be in the 7 region where it really should be. If you want to see this movie go for it, but don't be blind. Open your eyes please.
