Whenever I think about getting back together with my ex, I watch this film. Works like a charm every time.

Holy Shit. Holy Shit. Holy Shit. Fincher, you magnificent bastard! This was my first Fincher film I've seen at the theater and boy was in one hell of an experience.

"Holy Shit", is the phrase I muttered to myself several times as I drove home from the theater. One might ask, "Why was Evan saying Holy Shit his entire drive home?" Well I will tell you why BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING AMAZING!

This movie is right up my alley. The whole murder mystery, who done it thing is my thing. Every week I watch Dateline NBC, which is murder mystery. And this is the best episode of Dateline NBC that I've ever seen. David Fincher is a sensational director…

Should I be concerned that my wife was taking notes during this film? (Andy's last diary entry)..................................
Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 74

Bootleg Batman's wife goes missing and what comes next is possible proof that maybe marriage really is the motherfucker in this twisty edge of your seat thriller from David Fincher. Pretty hair. Candy kiss. Evil chin. Jonesy the cat's cousin. Sassy sister. The most original name for a bar is The Bar. The missing wife's voiceover is a cross between the Desperate Housewives's narrator and the sexy lady who read the letters on the mid-90's Cinemax TV show Hotline. Dear diary. Almost Famous cop? Jamie McShane has one of those character actor faces. Kim Dickens channels her inner Kyra Sedgwick and makes an awesome tough as nails detective. Ben Affleck's smirk. Remember the Scott Peterson case? Author and screenwriter Gillian…

Much like its central characters, Gone Girl is a film that defies expectation. It projects itself as a pulpy whodunit thriller but is in fact a far richer film smuggling its themes under the veil of preposterous twists and Machiavellian plots. In this regard it is a rather typical David Fincher movie - a film that is superficially trashy but one that hides a fascination with the complexities of humanity and the relationships we forge.

Gone Girl, adapted by Gillian Flynn from her own best-selling novel, is focused on the the disappearance of Amy, an All-American wife, on her fifth wedding anniversary and the media circus that follows. Following a series of incriminating clues and media faux pas her husband,…

Review by SpaceCadetJuan ★★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

84 Would never be able to get the full impact of this film because I already read the book and so the central mystery is no longer a mystery. Fincher did a great job of cutting out the extraneous and distilling the story down without it seeming disappointing or lacking. Pike is particularly excellent. The reveal is well handled, with confession exposition over quick montage of her machinations in motion. Well done, but the ending remains… well, it is what it is.

Best Affleck.
Review by terryorphin ★½

The first half of the film I was sure it was the cat. He was conveniently placed in too many scenes to not look suspicious.

So this was kinda like Man Bites Dog (1992). It's about the medias impact on law and order.

It wasn't good. I thought it was gonna be really good cause of its IMDB score and the reviews on here.

Affleck's character should have been played by Tom Cruise. He's the best. There was even a scene where the background music sounded like Tangerine Dream in Risky Business (1983).

That house was huge, he could have slid all over the place in his socks and undies... goddamn.

Anyway, I'm gonna go pat my cat and listen to some '80s music.
