Directed by David Fincher

David Fincher continues his streak of showing us people that are simply far too smart and manipulative for their own good. Meticulous and cunning like the characters, the film creeps along, slowing dripping information and throwing red herrings all over the place. In the end I feel like Gone Girl was like a jigsaw puzzle that had all the right pieces, but in the end, left you feeling kind of empty and lonely when all was said and done. It could been because the film did feel very long and drawn out, and there isn’t really anyone to root for. But then again, maybe I shouldn’t do puzzles by myself.
