By
the time their 5th wedding anniversary comes around, Nick and Amy’s
once-idyllic relationship is now going through very hard times, and, when his
wife suddenly disappears, the husband soon becomes the prime suspect in what
everyone suspects is a woman’s murder.
Based
on the novel of the same name, written by Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl has a tightly-woven
plot filled with twists and turns. David Fincher offers us a very stylistic and
artistic film, with solid acting performances by both Affleck and Pike. The
viewer cannot help getting on board and caring for those characters. As we
realize what is going on, we are entrenched even deeper in the story.
I
also greatly appreciated the illustration Gone Girl gave us of how easily the
media and the public can be manipulated. We are all guilty of it at times:
judging without having all the facts at hand.
The
ending of Gone Girl packs up quite the punch, as it is anything but your
typical hollywoodian happy-trails moment. It has been stuck in my head for a
couple of days now. Highly recommended for fans of a good, well-crafted
thriller.
