David Fincher is known for making efficient thrillers, often with twist. Fight Club and Se7en I still remember somehow, even though I saw them many years ago. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was actually not needed, but as American viewers hate to read subtitles, they had to be presented with a complete new re-filming of the book.
And now Gone Girl. What to do when you are married to a psychopath and want to get out of the marriage? What id the psychopath makes an elaborate plan that includes even her own suicide as a part of the elaborate plot to bring the husband to the gallows? And what if the biggest revenge is just to return as deus ex machine, pretending to their marriage a second chance?
In the exposition we watch the accelerating deconstruction of the once happy marriage; Nick wants to break out, but before he can arrange that, his wife is disappeared. Where did she go? The violence seems to hint at a kidnapping, but ever more clues seem to hint at that Nick might be responsible for her disappearance.
This is a intense plot with supreme performance and very well-written dialogues. The plot has several twists and after one more turn of the screw we are back at the beginning. Very noir - very intense. But also very long.
