Gone Girl (2014) Review

Gone Girl is David Fincher's latest hit. It received critical acclaim, and the audience liked it too. But, it's not a hit. I'm so-so on liking Fincher films. I didn't like Se7en or Fight Club at all, really, but I absolutely loved the Social Network. I haven't seen The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo or The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Of course, there were many great parts about it. Great performances for good characters- Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Tyler Perry, Neil Patrick Harris. An interesting plot with plenty of twists. And a solid R rating. But Gone Girl is far from perfect. It starts that way and remains it, until the very disappointing ending. It feels like we have at least 30 minutes to go on how Ben Affleck will get revenge on his wife- but no, it ends there, unresolved.
Movie Rating: B
