Bye bye

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2015)

I haven't read the novel, so I cannot compare the movie with it or tell you if David Fincher changed anything (for better or worse). So I can only judge this movie without anything in the back of my head comparing anything. Being free of that, I can say that I really loved this movie. I had my expectations and even having seen the trailer, I was surprised by quite a few things that happened in it.
Performance wise you get more than great work. Ben Affleck might have gotten a lot of backlash, because he got cast as Batman (his Daredevil stint might have to do a bit with that and his Gigli movie), but he's showing here that he can act. The movie also shows us depths of human behavior we wish didn't exist, but we know they do. This really does go out there, with (some) nudity and violence, so it's not for the squeamish. The story alone though might have a bigger and harder punch for some, than anything shown ...
