Gone Girl
5 out of 5 Suspenseful Stars!
Sometimes the simplest answer isn't always right.
If you've seen the trailer for Gone Girl, you probably think it's just another run-of-the-mill cliche movie where a husband's wife disappears, and the husband is a prime suspect. However, this movie is so much more than that. It's suspenseful, dark, filled with tension and constantly has you changing your mind about who's the "bad guy" or "good guy."
Gone Girl starts off quite simply; Nick Dunne (portrayed by Ben Affleck) returns to his home one morning only to realize that his wife is not there, and the glass table in the sitting area is shattered all over the floor. He calls the police and they proceed to walk around his house, looking for clues. There's blood spots on the kitchen cabinets, and Nick is not acting like a panicked husband. From there, as more and more clues are revealed, it really seems as if Nick Dunne killed his wife, Amy (portrayed by Rosamund Pike). However, not everything is as it seems. I don't want to post any spoilers for the movie, but let's just say that whatever you think is going to happen isn't, and there's a big 180 about a third into the movie.
A brilliantly executed movie with an amazingly talented cast that holds nothing back, Gone Girl is a must see. Gillian Flynn is definitely on my radar. I admit, I haven't read the book, but based on the fact that she also wrote the script, I'm sure the movie is a very close adaption from the novel. I am really looking forward to reading her other novels, Dark Places and Sharp Objects!
So, in conclusion, if you have some spare time during your weekend, or even during the week, you should definitely go see Gone Girl. You won't be disappointed, and it's worth every penny to see it. And even if you don't have time, I would really think about changing your schedule around so you can see this very entertaining, completely eerie, totally suspenseful movie that will definitely have you looking at certain situations in a different light.
