Review of Gone Girl (2014) by Thequietgamer — 26 Mar 2015
An amazing crime-drama thriller. The film's strength is in it's ability to play with your perception of what's happening and what has happened. Particularly with it's main character. A brilliant and huge twist that changes everything makes this a very different movie when it happens.
The longer it progresses the more tense and involving it becomes. It's not afraid to get dark. The way it presents every aspect is amazing. The way the general public reacts to new information shows how easily people's perceptions are twisted when they really have no idea what's going on, but truly want to. Dialog flows meticulously and is believable. The cast is fantastic and they play characters who feel like real people. Real, twisted people.
It's a masterfully written thriller. One that perhaps does go excessive with it's mature content at times, but this is a mature story so it's to be expected. This is one for an adult audience who enjoys slower, more detailed focused movies. If you're looking for a thriller with a lot of action the look elsewhere. This one is grounded in realism and manipulation as opposed to bullets and punches.
I give "Gone Girl" a 9.8/10.
