Gone Girl [DVD] [2014]

What a film,David Finchers gone girl is a very clever film, I will keep this spoiler free but it's typical Fincher with a great twist and it haves a lasting impression on you way after the credits role! Finchers previous work like fight club and Seven are of equal quality in my opinion! However, I have to commend the writer of the book, gone girl, Flynn! I read her book after I saw the film and I found it equally as good as the film, it really was well written! She also wrote the screen play for the film and you can clearly see her vision transfered into the movie.A must see for fans of films like fight club or anyone who likes a clever film with a killer twist!Both Pike and Affleck give fantastic performances as Nick and Amy!The DVD, I watched this movie and i enjoyed it so much I decsided to buy it on DVD, I'm an avid DVD collector and Own around 650 titles! I had to own this movie!The DVD is really nicely produced. It's slimline (however newer editions are normal sized) and it's very clean and simplistic, the pictures are of nice quality and is held in a paper sleeve and the 'book' style DVD holder has some really nice images!The only small problem I have with the DVD is the lack of extras, all there is a directors commentary but I would of liked a few more features. However, not badley enough to knock off a star!All in all, top class movie with a really nice DVD!Thanks for reading my review!

This is billed as a psychological thriller. It is a neo-noir psychological crime drama,and a very good one at that. I have been watching quite a lot of what is called "neo-noir films lately, and I often compare classic noir with the new noir. What I like aboutthe classic noirs is, what they don't say, and what is implied. These days, film makershave more choice of what can be said, and sometimes they get over dramatic withlanguage and action, so they can be overly simple, for a simple audience. That is notthe case here.Gone Girl, is a story of our times in the age of multi-media, and the court of public opinion.This movie had a budget of 67 million dollars, and you can see where the money was spent.It was spent of the script and writing. This is a a writers film, written by Gillian Flynn, from herbook of the same name. The plot builds up and surprises at each turn, and I have to say themusic score is great. They could have went for a orchestrally score with lots of strings to heightenthe tension, but no they didn't, they went with an electronic music soundtrack. At a very importantplot point, the music kicks in with a out of time beat to the the scene. It sounds jarring and out ofplace, but as the scene moves, it all makes sense. The music score reminded me of Hitchcock'sThe Birds, as in you don't even notice it, and I have to say this is the kind of movie Alfred Hitchcockwould make today.This is a classic movie that will only get better with age, and, if you want to learn about GOOD writingwatch this film, as it is a master class in screenwriting

Definitely a perfectly working film, which looks even better the second time you watch it. The ambiguity of all the characters, the unsual develpment of the story and the effective and intriguing direction put in on a completely different level of the average films you see nowadays. I only think that it's all too cold and perfect: there is not a moment when characters look alive and actors do something more human than just acting well, and so the direction, all so perfect but that never let itself get lost and seem to lose control of the film. The final results is an algid film that works this way because it's about people fight to get in control of their lives and situation and ending up being victims and offenders at the same time, and basically trapping themselves in their own mindset and will of domination. But you don't feel the drama, you don't feel like something real is happening before your eyes. It's a fantastic mis-en-scene, but don't leave you anything.

I was recommended this film by my daughters. I have always liked the actress and enjoy her style of films. My goodness what a film! We watched the first 20 minutes and I was beginning to wonder why my daughters had suggested it. It was late in the evening and by the time I got to the end I was worried about what the heck I would be dreaming about that night. I would never have guessed the ending.As the plot twists and turns the quality of acting by Rosamund Pike was superb. This film is not her normal style and my goodness she acted the role. (her other films I have seen were 'United Kingdom,' What we did on our holiday' and 'Made in Dagenham) Choose an evening when you won't be disturbed and enjoy (if that is the word I can use) Absolutely brilliant.

Even though this is a Fincher film, I was not to sure about it. Not being a Ben Affleck fan, I had my reservations, but I have to say he delivered. Although I must also admit that I enjoyed seeing him go through so much pain!Rosamund Pike also gives a stellar and very troubling, performance as the apparent abused wife, Amy Dunne. And then there's poor Neil Patrick Harris as Desi Collings; what can I say? It's one of those films that you end up not having any sympathy for the main characters, who all seem twisted and flawed beyond redemption, but it is an enjoyable ride.

Really good price,great quality thank you 😊

It was fairly true to the book obviously because Gillian Flynn was involved with the film. Ben Affleck was perfect as Nick just as I imagined from the book. I thought Rosamund Pike was good but certainly not worthy of an Oscar nomination. All in all above average but when you have read the book the films are never as good.
