Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Lyn — 03 Oct 2014
There are movies that make you ponder marriage/relationships -- yours and other people's. This isn't one of them. Nick and Amy are (one hopes!) nothing like you and your significant other. Their twisty story is darkly funny and provocative, although I think I might have enjoyed it more had I not read the novel.
(Same plot problems, in my opinion.) Ben Affleck -- whose acting was the worst thing in "Argo" -- is the best thing here, perfectly cast. Rosemund Pike is a weak link, seeming like an American Doll whose descriptive theme is "sociopath.
" Trent Reznor's score is not so much a soundtrack as just sound effects.
