"Gone Girl" (2014)

Synopsis:
A married man wakes up one day and finds out that his wife went missing. He goes on an investigation to find out the mystery of his missing wife.

Review:
I really enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would.

The story is very interesting and intriguing. I'm not going to give anything away but in the first act, it's just another mystery thriller, but still had me interested and held my attention. After that, it totally went a direction that I did not expect.

The acting is actually quite great. I am not a Ben Affleck fan but I thought he was very good in this, and I think this just might be the best film to feature him. I also really liked Rosamund Pike in this as well.

The direction was great. It really sets the tone and it's intense and downright crazy. It's also very beautifully shot. David Fincher has done it again.

One thing that bugged me though, is that it felt a tad longer than it should. O

verall, I found this film to be quite brilliant and I highly recommend it to those who are into psychological thrillers and/or are in the mood for a mystery.

In the end, I'll say "Gone Girl", while not Fincher's best film, is still quite an impressive psychological thriller that should be able to satisfy fans.

Max Scale:
9/10
