Film Review: Dark, intelligent, and stylish to a fault, Gone Girl (2014) plays to director David Finchers sick strengths while bringing the best out of stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. A craftily sophisticated thriller, a cracking piece of entertainment and it is arguably the most accomplished and the finest David Fincher film ever! The story is blessed by great characters and many witty and imaginative touches, in particular the conceit by which the Dunnes are each given despicable motives and personalities. As well as the chemistry between the two leads, the film has some of Finchers best characterizations. He deftly etches his small-town characters and homey surroundings. Fincher can raise more goose pimples to the square inch of a customers flesh than any other director in Hollywood. It is an indisputable masterpiece. Fincher once said I dont know how much movies should entertain. To me, Im always interested in movies that scar. The thing I love about Jaws is the fact that Ive never gone swimming in the ocean again. And like Jaws, this film has scarred me for life. Especially for couples who watch this film. They will never look at each other the same way again and they will second guess their relationship. As Fincher called this film The Ultimate Date Movie that will end 15 million marriages. This film is one of the best movies of the year and has gone on to become one of my top five favorite films of all time. Overall this film receives 5/5 stars!
