Twisted, Just Twisted - Gone Girl Review


It's been a while since I've been to the movies. Mid-semester break came by and the only thing I actually got to watch was Lucy... Let's not talk about that wreck. The weeks went by and I found myself too busy with university and sports to actually chill out at the theatres. However, I'm happy that my return to the cinemas had me sitting in on this beautiful film by David Fincher. Gone Girl is one of the best movies I've seen in a long while. This is a good film. It's not the fun, popcorn shovelling, night out with the gang sort of good, but more like the theme, mood, character, acting, plot, pacing, directing, academy-award level analysis sort of good. Not only does the story contain many twists and turns that leave you guessing till the end (I'm sorry if you counted that comment as a spoiler), but the twisted nature of the characters and themes will leave you evaluating humanity during the credits. This is my review of Gone Girl
"Nick Dunne, you're probably the most hated man in America right now. Did you kill your wife, Nick?"
