Paul S This is one of the best crime-dramas I've ever seen. The story was intense and compelling, and it provided really great performances from the cast. I definitely recommend it for crime and drama fans! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Stephen L "Gone Girl" is a meticulously crafted psychological thriller that expertly deconstructs marriage, media influence and public perception. David Fincher’s direction is razor-sharp, transforming Gillian Flynn’s novel into a chilling, slow-burn mystery filled with unexpected twists. Rosamund Pike delivers a mesmerizing performance as Amy Dunne, crafting one of the most compelling and unsettling characters in recent cinema. While Ben Affleck provides a solid counterpart, it’s Pike who dominates the film with her icy precision. Dark, stylish and deeply unsettling, "Gone Girl" is a gripping thriller that lingers long after the credits roll. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Brad S. R One of the most contemptible pieces of cinema I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Leprechaun K It was ok. The script didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Fincher sort of lost his touch after Seven and Fight Club days. Too Oscar driven. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Lucas B First half of the movie has plenty of potholes and it's pretty cliche, if you're a true crime enthusiast you understand why. The second part however, is so crazy with so many plot twists it's laughable and I think that's what the writers were going for. The characters are very likeable and the dialogue between them is very well written, that's what makes the movie, but if you're looking for realism this is not really for you. All in all I really enjoyed it, solid 7.5/10. It could've been a solid 8.5/10 if the whole premise of the movie was written better, all it takes is some surveillance cameras from near the beach where Nick went, phone records, Amy's bank statements, forensic evidence from Nick's car, statements from the guy that delivered all the packages bought with Nick's credit card, ATM footage (since we saw she had a large amount of money) and the whole premise of the movie would fall apart instantly. That's what police would do immediately after forensics on the house so the fact that these things are completely overlooked is pretty annoying. When Nick was arrested there were no fingerprints on the weapon, no forensic evidence in the car, no body, they would've NEVER arrested him in real life because the case just wouldn't stick. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Jess F I have always been a huge admirer of David Fincher. He is undoubtedly one of the most consistent and masterful storytellers in modern cinema. I also think when it comes to dark, disturbing thrillers, there is very few who can match the directorial skills of Fincher. Like many of his previous films, Gone Girl is a very long film, but in a true Fincher-esque fashion, it is as engaging as possible without any scope for the viewer to feel bored. The pacing is perfect. The scenes have a dreamy style to it, which brings the dilemma of "whether this is a true account of things or has this been made up by the narrator." The theme of the film is the fact that humans at the basic level are all actors and pretenders. Very seldom do we decide to be our real selves. Generally all of us put on a mask to make ourselves look good in front of the general public and also to pretend to be the person that our nearest and dearest want us to be. Gillian Flynn's screenplay based on her own novel is brilliant and it is also a damning indictment of how media can shape and mould mass perception and it is also a cynical account of the institution of marriage. Ben Affleck is good, Tyler Perry is good, but this movie from an acting perspective belongs to Rosamund Pike. She owns every scene that she is in and delivers an Oscar-worthy performance.
