David Fincher’s Gone Girl is a taut, stylish, and deeply unsettling thriller that delivers on every level. I had no real idea of what to expect going into this, but I absolutely loved it. Based on Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel, the film delves into the dark undercurrents of modern marriage, media frenzy, and personal reinvention. Rosamund Pike provides a hauntingly brilliant performance as Amy Dunne, a woman trapped in what may or may not be an unhappy marriage. Her performance is layered and unnerving as she seamlessly shifts from victim to villain. The film begins as a standard missing person story: Amy disappears on her 5th wedding anniversary, and her husband Nick (Ben Affleck) quickly becomes the prime suspect. As the narrative unfolds, timelines blur, motives twist. What emerges is a chilling portrait of manipulation and media spectacle. Trent Reznor's score creates a creeping sense of dread. But it’s Pike’s performance that anchors the film. She is alternately cool and terrifying. Gone Girl is a provocative commentary on love, gender expectations, and the roles we play for each other. If you liked Girl on the Train and Fight Club, you'll probably like this.

I need some quiet, I'm in my How to Forge Your Own Perfect Murder class, and the teacher's name is Amy Dunne.

Engaging and unpredictable. Rating: 7.7/10

This is one of the best crime-dramas I've ever seen. The story was intense and compelling, and it provided really great performances from the cast. I definitely recommend it for crime and drama fans!

"Gone Girl" is a meticulously crafted psychological thriller that expertly deconstructs marriage, media influence and public perception. David Fincher’s direction is razor-sharp, transforming Gillian Flynn’s novel into a chilling, slow-burn mystery filled with unexpected twists. Rosamund Pike delivers a mesmerizing performance as Amy Dunne, crafting one of the most compelling and unsettling characters in recent cinema. While Ben Affleck provides a solid counterpart, it’s Pike who dominates the film with her icy precision. Dark, stylish and deeply unsettling, "Gone Girl" is a gripping thriller that lingers long after the credits roll.

One of the most contemptible pieces of cinema I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through.

It was ok. The script didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Fincher sort of lost his touch after Seven and Fight Club days. Too Oscar driven.

First half of the movie has plenty of potholes and it's pretty cliche, if you're a true crime enthusiast you understand why. The second part however, is so crazy with so many plot twists it's laughable and I think that's what the writers were going for. The characters are very likeable and the dialogue between them is very well written, that's what makes the movie, but if you're looking for realism this is not really for you. All in all I really enjoyed it, solid 7.5/10. It could've been a solid 8.5/10 if the whole premise of the movie was written better, all it takes is some surveillance cameras from near the beach where Nick went, phone records, Amy's bank statements, forensic evidence from Nick's car, statements from the guy that delivered all the packages bought with Nick's credit card, ATM footage (since we saw she had a large amount of money) and the whole premise of the movie would fall apart instantly. That's what police would do immediately after forensics on the house so the fact that these things are completely overlooked is pretty annoying. When Nick was arrested there were no fingerprints on the weapon, no forensic evidence in the car, no body, they would've NEVER arrested him in real life because the case just wouldn't stick.

I have always been a huge admirer of David Fincher. He is undoubtedly one of the most consistent and masterful storytellers in modern cinema. I also think when it comes to dark, disturbing thrillers, there is very few who can match the directorial skills of Fincher. Like many of his previous films, Gone Girl is a very long film, but in a true Fincher-esque fashion, it is as engaging as possible without any scope for the viewer to feel bored. The pacing is perfect. The scenes have a dreamy style to it, which brings the dilemma of "whether this is a true account of things or has this been made up by the narrator." The theme of the film is the fact that humans at the basic level are all actors and pretenders. Very seldom do we decide to be our real selves. Generally all of us put on a mask to make ourselves look good in front of the general public and also to pretend to be the person that our nearest and dearest want us to be. Gillian Flynn's screenplay based on her own novel is brilliant and it is also a damning indictment of how media can shape and mould mass perception and it is also a cynical account of the institution of marriage. Ben Affleck is good, Tyler Perry is good, but this movie from an acting perspective belongs to Rosamund Pike. She owns every scene that she is in and delivers an Oscar-worthy performance.

Good movie with nice twists. Quite slow, but it is designed to make you feel uncomfortable. I feel the ending is justified.

Fantastic movie, but terrible ending. Sat for 5 minutes watching the credits thinking, “There is no way that’s how that movie actually ends”. And yet, it was.

Extremely wooden acting. None of the dialogue seems natural and feels like everyone is just waiting for their que to give a one liner. The dialogue feels like it was written by a young adult fiction writer where every line is a little extra. I really like Rosamund Pike but not even she could save this movie. Ben Affleck also just can’t act.

A pretty decent thriller with a twisted premise. One of David Finscher's good movies but no in the category of "Seven" or "Zodiac". It is a good thriller that you will definitely enjoy. WATCH!

Com grandes atuações e uma história cheia de reviravoltas, este filme é mais um bom trabalho do David Fincher. (avaliação: 7.5/10)

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é bacaninha, o elenco é bacana, o filme parece que teve cenas bacanas, mas parece que esse filme não foi feito para o ben affleck parece que ele só sabe fazer filme de comédia.

Great movie. Very entertatining. Recommended.

A thriller for divorced dads. This movie started out with all the fixings of an intelligent film, but crumbled under its own ludicrous premise. Writing is overtly lewd at times. Affleck's acting was boring per usual and Neil Patrick Harris' character was empty and pointless. When Amy's motives are revealed, the film could have gone in any direction, instead it just circled back on itself and couldn't figure out how to end. The MeToo opposition is clear from the beginning but the persistance of Affleck's vague men's rights grumblings throughout give the film a bitter tone. The whole take away about their fractured lives together felt stuck in some old Gen X ethos. They didn't have kids together just get a DIVORCE and call it a day!

It is quite a gruelling watch, but the leads carry the day with lots of twists and turns to maintain the interest!

Movie is tough to watch, in a good way. Rosamund Pike puts in an Oscar worthy performance, at times being truly chilling and inciting a fear that would break most men. Ben Affleck is unusually rigid and insincere in his acting, which almost comes across as a poor performance at first until you fully grasp why he’s doing it.
