On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne reports that his wife, Amy, 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 behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?
This was the best part of Gone Girl, it is not Ben Affleck and his expressionless acting but the bird on the bat.
Neil Patrick Harris almost gets decapitated. It was way too violent, more than it needed to be and was borderline slasher. Also, while we're talking about blood when Amy is released from the hospital she was dolled up with a cute hairdo and scrubs but she still has blood all down her neck. Somehow, I don't think that's protocol.
On a side note, my prudishness also came into play as the nudity (while expected) was a little much as well, whatever happened to leaving some to the imagination.
I wasn't impressed by Rosamund Pike's performance. She wasn't the Amy I pictured, someone more conniving and instead I just got stilted. Although my expression throughout the movie was similar to this.
There was definitely something missing in Gone Girl and it wasn't Amy Dunne. Gone Girl wasn't even close to amazing but rather a cluster fuck.

"It's important right now that we talk, killer to killer."
Unlike Addison DeWitt I would not like to talk killer to killer but rather as movie lover to movie lover. What do you think?
