Good concept, poorly executed.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ben Affleck is Nick Dunne and Rosamund Pike is Amy Dunne in this story that is a mystery at times, a thriller at others. I love the way that the film's exposition leads the viewer to one conclusion, then another that is contrary to the first, then another. Eventually, the film becomes a commentary on public opinion and the media, even as it explores the complexities of an unusual marriage.The action starts with the disappearance of Amy, but the story evolves quickly. I have read other reviews that decry an abundance of plot holes, but I find most of them to be misunderstandings of the story. Others can be easily explained with some creative thinking. As a whole, the story is cleverly written.This film deserves its high score. The performances are strong, even in their moments of restraint. Rosamund Pike has cited Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct" as an influence and it is noticeable in her sometimes measured manner. Ben Affleck, at times, reminds one of the prototypical Hitchcockian hero-victim.The Reznor and Ross soundtrack is atmospheric, giving the film a suspenseful, unresolved feeling.

This movie would be worth watching for either the story or Rosamund Pike's acting alone. With the two together, it is very compelling. There are parts where the movie moves a bit slower and the unfolding of story through flashbacks does at times feel a bit cumbersome. But those can be forgiven for the brilliance of the idea and how the lead character is portrayed by Pike.

Is not a bad movie. But the story is kind too much predictable. And has bad poor "plot twist".Its good to pass some time, but doesn't look like a Fincher movie.

One of the most brilliant transcripts, I've enjoyed every minute of the movie...
