Everyone should go see Gone Girl. It was amazing.
The thriller, directed by David Fincher, is based off the book written by Gillian Flynn. Flynn also wrote the screenplay–one of many reasons why the film just seemed to work so well.
I really can’t think of an aspect of the film I didn’t like. The plot was riveting: Even at almost 2 and a half hours long, I was constantly engrossed and consistently surprised by the events taking place on screen. And for a film with so many twists and turns, the story was neatly wrapped up leaving very little room for plot holes. The acting was also exceptional, and every actor fit their role perfectly: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, NPH, even Tyler Perry. The soundtrack was subtle yet effective. It made me feel uneasy at the right times without coming off as overbearing.
In many ways the film reminded me of Prisoners, except Gone Girl‘s plot never dragged. It is truly an interesting film that I look forward to seeing again.
