Good cast and decent story, although the end is not very convincing. The cut of the movie is really good and Rosamund Pike is genuinely scary. Not a master piece but quite good given the lack of passable movies lately.

Rosamund Pike is outstanding as the wronged wife and Ben Affleck is very good as the husband. It is convoluted, and you do start to think is this just going over the top, but the end just shows Pike's character to be a damaged high-functioning psychopath. So at the final sequence, even if it's a tad far fetched even if you feel that Affleck deserves everything coming to him, the look she gives to the camera is that of an pure evil. As my youngest daughter used to say when she was a kid, she's got scary eyes.

"This man might honestly kill me". The story is about Nick Dunne, as he finds out his wife has gone missing. As increasing police and media pressure mount, the facade of a loving and blissful union crumbles and amidst the lies and behavior of Nick, the question remains - did he kill her? David Fincher is a true master class when it comes to directing, because Gone girl is one of the best films of this year. Ben Affleck was perfect for this role, because Ben Affleck through out he's career had a lot of hate from the media and the critics that mostly slammed him in every role that he was in. And that's why he was outstanding in this movie. Rosamund Pike acting in this film was pure brilliant and spectacular. She was so good in this role she might get a Oscar nomination for this. Tyler Perry in this movie was actually pretty damn good, and am so surprise saying that because Mr. …

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com This is it. The last David Fincher's film I'll be able to review before Mank, his next masterpiece… I hope. I've been through Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network, and now it's time for Fincher's latest installment, Gone Girl. Clearly, Fincher loves to work with people he knows. Jeff Cronenweth has been his director of photography in half of his movies, same for Kirk Baxter as part of the editing team, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross in the musical score. Even his production designer, Donald Graham Burt, has been around since Zodiac. However, Fincher always works with a different writer, and this time, he partners up with a debutant screenwriter, Gillian Flynn, author of the original novel that originates this adaptation. Usually, when it comes to writers, I take this chan…

**An excellent film, which never leaves us comfortable and where nothing is as it seems.** This is one of those films that can unnerve and exasperate us, but that we love to watch. In fact, I don't remember seeing many films where the main character deserved my hatred. I don't want to, and I won't reveal what happens in this film, but it's one of those where appearances can be deceiving and where things aren't what they seem. The action focuses on the disappearance of a woman and her husband's efforts to find her. To our eyes, it's obvious that he really wants to find her, perhaps more than her parents, who seem to be just taking the opportunity to publicize the children's books they've published. However, little by little, he becomes a suspect in a hypothetical murder case. David Fincher is a director who has already shown what he's worth: I loved “Se7en”, “Game”, “Fight…

"Nick" (Ben Affleck) is seemingly happily married to the gorgeous and witty "Amy" (Rosamund Pike) until he comes home one evening and finds a smashed table and no wife. The cops turn up with "Boney" (Kim Dickens) and "Gilpin" (Patrick Fugit) soon smelling a rat. Together with her parents, they do all the usual publicity stuff but to no avail. Then the police start to wonder if he's telling the truth, and that suspicion is only heightened when they discover some deliberately left breadcrumbs that begin to suggest that he is a bit of a cheating brute and that she was terrified he was going to kill her. As evidence mounts, you wouldn't put your money on "Nick" so with the support of his no-nonsense sister "Margo" (Carrie Coon) he engages acclaimed lawyer "Bolt" (Tyler Perry) and they start digging. They are ill-prepared for the truth that they actually do discover, though not as ill-prepare…
