The Sixth Great Film Of The Year.

Instead of getting married, I’m just gonna find a woman who hates me and give her a house.

Gone Girl is not exactly the date-movie of the year (unless you’re looking to scare to your spouse straight), but it’s a David Fincher classic all the way. This one has the feel of his last film, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, in that it’s a gripping thriller with a pace that glides, and while it’s two-and-a- half hours long, I wished it was longer. Roger Ebert said it right: “No good film is too long, and no bad movie is short enough.”

Gone Girl is amazing. Bring the wife, put the armrest up and snuggle.
