MOVIE REVIEW: "GONE GIRL" (2014)

GONE POSTERSUMMARY STATEMENT

“Impressive … The NARRATIVE is both TRAGIC and TWISTED in equal measures, while its unexpected ending will stay entrenched in the viewer’s mind until memory fades. We share the victim’s journey which is substantial, poignant, almost real.

GONE1

With calculated precision, DAVID FINCHER directs a complicated whodunit, making the complex characters stand out naturally from the mystery pack.

GONE2

The PLOT is fast-paced, taut and atmospheric, like a dense fog seeping creepily into the darkness of the night with its cold and menacing presence, looking to claim an unsuspecting victim.

GONE3

What would you do when  love is over?

GONE4

A Police Confrontation getting nowhere. The wife’s body cannot be found …..

Hey, I see something lurking in the shadows!

” GONE GIRL ” (2014) MOVIE PREVIEW.

So much praises have been lavished on “GONE GIRL” extolling the grandeur and splendor of the keep-you-guessing-to-the-end whodunit.

So whatever I put forth now may seem a tad superfluous.

It has a simple plot and at director DAVID FINCHER’s deft turn of hand, he has weaved an extraordinary first-class thriller that will keep you enthralled.

The whole cinematic world knows by now of the psychological jolt that awaits you at the end of the tunnel.

In Malaysia, the film was initially banned for it blatant artistry issues, but the problem has finally been resolved amiably.

But a review is still a review and since I requested to attend the evening gala instead of the regular press screening, herewith is it my unabridged version.

“GONE GIRL” is a walking and talking whodunit, nothing like you have seen before. Roll on!

We have to thank ace director Director DAVID FINCHER for taking us through the heart stomping  suspense.

Even Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct is no match.

“GONE GIRL” is a book-to-film adaptation of a novel written by Gillian Flynn. 

Its main plot is about the Dunnes starting from the disappearance of Amy Elliott-Dunne on their fifth wedding anniversary.

The film offers more twists and turns that will keep the audience in suspense, speculating on what really happened to Amy.

Some scenes were shocking and brutal, including unexpected revelations and Amy’s convoluted schemes.

Catch it at your local cinema for the answer.

You won’t regret it!
