On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy Nick's portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies deceits and strange behaviour have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife? Based on the best-selling book by Gillian Flynn
Amy (Rosamund Pike) and Nick (Ben Affleck) have been married for five years. Externally, their marriage and their lives seem just about perfect, but internally, under the surface, tensions are mounting and their lives are about to be torn apart.
Amy's parents are the authors of a string of successful children's books whose main character 'Amazing Amy' is based on their daughter. Is the fact that the book version of Amy is more successful than the real Amy something that has been slowly eating away at Amy's mental state for years? Nick is a part-time college lecturer and writer who also runs a local bar. He looks clean-cut and faithful but he's secretly having an affair with one of his students.
Suddenly and mysteriously, Amy goes missing and whilst there's no obvious sign of a struggle at their home it's clear that something very unusual has happened. A murder investigation begins with Nick as the prime suspect. The story goes national as the media goes wild. Has Amy been kidnapped? Has Nick murdered her? The truth is more shocking than the fiction - Amy has devised a diabolical plan to get even with Nick for his cheating.
David Fincher is the perfect director for this dark and tense thriller filled with violence, sex and a gut-punch twist. He handles actors extremely well and his direction of scenes and photography is unparalleled in its ingenuity.
Affleck's performance is never less than adequate but the role gives little to do other than look upset about his wife's disappearance, have an affair with a younger girl and look repentant when he later admits to his indiscretion on live TV in order to win public support.
Pike's performance is fearless and haunting - as Amy she is deceptive, manipulative and ruthless. It's her finest performance to date. Gone Girl is all about Pike's truly incendiary performance, everyone else is simply there to support her.
Gone Girl is a scorpion of a film with a deadly sting in its tale.
