I have reviewed many movies out here in recent times, but this would be the most twisted, gruesome & evilish movie i am going to review. I got to know about this movie when i was looking for some movies to see on the web & i saw a link stating "Early Predictions To OSCARS 2015". When i opened the link, the first movie i saw was "Gone Girl" & then i opened many other links that showed me the same OSCARS predictions, the movie that i saw on #1 position in most of the lists was "Gone Girl". This was the first thing that made me excited for this movie. Secondly, it had "Ben Affleck" & many people would differ from me i know, but i love this guy. He is a great actor. And Lastly, the twisted mind of "David Fincher". The movie is based on a novel of the same name "Gone Girl" by "Gillian Flynn" So, Does this movie lives upto it's expectation? And, the answer is "Hell Yeah". So, here is my review.
The story revolves around a married couple "Nick Dunne" played by "Ben Affleck" & "Amy Dunne" played by "Rosamund Pike". One fine morning, Nick leaves the house to think about his failing marriage. But, as he returns home he finds Amy is not home & the furniture of the house is all messed up. He gets worried & calls the Police. And, after some investigation it is found that "Amy" has been gone missing & the possibilty is that maybe "Nick" has killed her because of their failing marriage. So we go to a flashback, before the marriage. We see Amy is a celebrated author, she writes a graphic novel "Amazing Amy" & has made a name for her. Whereas Nick has lost his job as a journalist due to shut down of his media company. As he pops up the question of marriage, Amy is all up for it. As they get married, Nick still hasn't find a job & is having fun on his wife's earning. The problem starts when Amy is ready to have a baby, Nick also wants it but he needs some time. And, here starts the real story of the movie, which i won't be telling & spoiling the movie for you.
The movie stands out in all of it's perspectives. Like the Acting, the two main leads of the movie "Ben Affleck" & "Rosamund Pike" have given stand-out performances in the movie. "Affleck" does the role of "Nick" effortlessly. He is meant to be a Momma's boy who never grew out of trying to impress others. He has portrayed Nick, what he is meant to be, He is confused, shocked. All in All, Affleck killed it. However, none deserves more applause than "Rosamund Pike" who is just fabulous in not only how she shifts in character but also makes us see what drives Amy. She deserves all the praise.Carrie Coon, who portrays the character of "Margo Dunne" (Nick's Sister) has done a really good job. The only person in the movie that you sympathize for is "Desi" played by "Neil Patrick Harris". After seeing the movie you'll get to know why i am saying this.
Now comes to the direction part, "David Fincher", if you haven't seen his earlier movies you would feel that "How can someone's mind be this twisted?" To which i say, please watch his movies you'll get to know. Fincher shows his magic again, with his mind-blowing direction & the gruesome visuals which i don't think anyone would like to see. He is a sheer genius.
All in All. "Gone Girl" tells us about the the gruesome side of modern day marriage. How a man or a woman can do anything to save or ruin their married life. YOU JUST CANNOT MISS THIS MOVIE. HIGHLY RCEOMMENDED!
My Rating - ****&1/2
