David Fincher what happened?

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2015)

David Fincher is without doubt one of my favorite directors working today. Fight Club and Seven are two of my favorite movies. The Facebook movie was very good as well. Gone Girl is a complete waste of his talents. Other than a great score by NIN Trent Reznor and some well directed sequences, the movie falls completely flat. This story has more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese and makes absolutely no sense. The ending will tick you off and the unbelievable motives and actions from the characters will not ring true to life. After doing some research on the book which I have yet to read, I found out the author of the book and also screenwriter for the film is a writer for Entertainment Weekly. Makes perfect sense as to why the screenplay makes absolutely zero sense. EW is garbage magazine writing at its finest. EW is made for the same type of people that have no jobs and watch Maury Povich all day. You could probably hire a group of chimps to write a better story than this monstrosity. There are to many plot holes to mention. I could write a thesis on the plot holes in this movie. The story has an interesting premise but the execution is flawed to the core. This is the type of film that Stanley Kubrick would have adapted himself during his prime and reworked the plot holes and flawed storyline into something more fluid and believable.
