Gone Girl Review

Gone Girl is the kind of movie that comes once in two or three years. Having been a fan of David Fincher from Se7en to The Girl With The Dragon I saw this movie with high expectations and trust me when I say this, I wasn't disappointed.

The strength of this movie lies in the sheer realism of the main characters. Rosamund Pike is absolutely phenomenal as Amy Elliot Dunne, one of the best written fictional characters of the present time. Rosamund Pike portrays the character of a spooky, aloof, meticulous and clever girl with panache. Ben Affleck is also good in his role of a confused, dumb husband. Neil Pattrick Harris and Tyler Perry are also very effective in their short roles.

But what really makes this movie standout is the story which is so masterfully written by Gillian Flynn and the way in which this story has been portrayed on screen by David Fincher. The background score and the clever use of silence add to the tension in this incredible dark thriller. The only thing which I think could have been changed is the ending as i find it a bit anti climatic. Else this is one hell of a movie.
