It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The body count is extremely high (there are more corpses above ground than there are buried below it) and the film is dark and edgy to the point of excluding people. It is, after all, a Shakespearean tragedy. If this doesn’t interest you, you might want to look elsewhere for a “Bang” for your buck. On the other hand, if this is your kind of cinema, you won’t find a better way to spend 3 hours of your life.

The film belongs to Gillian Flynn, David Fincher and Rosamund Pike. It takes an old-fashioned murder-mystery tale and transforms it into a new-age classic that deserves multiple viewings to fully appreciate its brilliance. If there’s only one film that you’ll watch in the next one year, let it be this one. This is one film that shouldn’t be missed at any cost. As if that wasn’t apparent already.

… this film might just not even be good enough to pay money for. Does well despite the curse of the sequels (it’s a real thing), but definitely not good enough to kill for.
