Gone Girl

David Fincher's twisty Gone Girl is a delight to watch. Not since Basic Instinct had I seen psychological thriller of this sort, so entertaining.  It Stars Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, who is charged with killing his wife Amy, played by Rosamund Pike.  What ensues in this deceptive cat and mouse game, is a well crafted story that is candy in the hands of Fincher.  Not to overlook the rest of the stellar performances, but Rosamund Pike  really rises to the occasion on this one. What Gone Girl does suffer from, however, is a long overwrought last third of the movie that seems to unbalance the buildup of the first part despite it lending further clarification to the ambiguity of the title itself.
