You thought you were watching an Oscar contender, but he’s so damned slick that you didn’t even realize this was just an MTV Movie Award waiting to happen.īen Affleck stars as Nick Dunne, stuck in a miserable marriage to Amy, played by a breathy and alluring Rosamund Pike, who was once America’s sweetheart and the inspiration for a series of best-selling children’s books. He lures you in with promises of meaning but traps in you a realm of daft plotting, crazed caricature and absurdly witty twists instead. In some ways it feels like the last few years of soul-searching were just a ruse to get you into this pulpy thriller’s mindset. With Gone Girl, Fincher has stealthily swerved back into airplane novel territory, and the world is better off for it.
