Running time: 149 minutes

There are two sides of every story and in Gone Girl those sides are explored wildly by David Fincher. Gone Girl is not your typical romantic story but your typical mind fuck story which will leaves you gasping with awe. Fincher is one of my favorite director and by this he manages to keep himself in the game. 

Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) finds his home  violated;  his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), missing. With the help of the police Nick tries to find his wife. But as things revealed, the suspicion mounts on Nick. Is he the killer playing poker face? Is he the sociopath? The media circus is frenzy with the way Nick behaves. But this is from David Fincher and he gives more than just whodunit saga. Gone Girl shifts from past and future, also Amy and Nick's side. 

There are two major spoilers for those who haven't read the book by Gillian Flyn, it is better to enjoy the film without knowing anything. With score from Trent Reznor, there is a dark atmosphere as the story progresses. This film is more than just police investiogation, it examines marriage, love, gender roles and psychology in a twist manner.

Some scenes are brutal and raunchy, viewers discretion advised. As a slow burner, this 149 minutes drama is not even boring at all. In fact it makes people scared of marriage. The revealing of Amy's fate not in the end of this film will make you gasp and it leads to a swirling, shocking and provoking ending. For all its secrets, Gone Girl is one of the year's best that will keep you by the edge of your seat.
