GONE GIRL - film / by Cut to the chase

This film is getting pretty universally positive reviews and I certainly think it's a great one, worth seeing if you don't get to the movies very often.

One thing I would say, though, is that it's a thriller based on a book (and fairly true to the book, I gather) so if you have read the book, it does become a tad less, well, thrilling, because you know how it ends! I've seen it twice and I enjoyed it a lot more the first time round when I had no idea what was going to happen with each twist and turn.

It stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as a rather complex couple - he winds up under intense scrutiny when she goes missing. I will say no more as I think the less you know, the more you'll enjoy this.
