A shocking and clever ride.

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2019)

I can see how some may pick fault in the story, but the 1/10 star reviews are just ridiculous. Go and watch literally any film you've never seen before on Netflix or Prime Now and there you will find a true 1/10.
Anyway, Gone Girl provides for a suspenseful and clever (even if some don't appreciate it) twist on a classic tale, wife disappears and the husband looks to fit the bill, etc, etc.
Some describe Affleck as very wooden, but he is playing the actual character very well. The plot genuinely took turns I did not see coming, and though the ending may be decisive it is a very symbolic and smart ending based on the twists and turns that arise. Especially taking the opening line and the ending line and putting them together.
Gone Girl allows for the support roles to shine, a story to be told with genuine turns you will not be coming and it certainly delivers on the intrigue. Give it a watch, you'll enjoy the ride.
