Gone Girl
Anyone see it yet? What did you think?
I, for one, thought it was excellent. Had to convince my better half of it on the way home though (she didn't like the ending).

Great acting by all. Affleck in particular was terrific. I had not read the book going in strictly off the previews etc. The first half of the film was in my opinion totally working on a mystery level. I had a bit of a problem with the all of a sudden THUST into that mystery element being taken away. Without spoiling anything, anyone who has seen the picture knows what i mean? But it is a well acted film and very watchable, i was not crazy about the ending. Not that everything has to be played out in films, or certainly not always expecting a happy ending, but in this case it did leave my wife and I a bit wanting another outcome. A bit of a mixed review i suppose, but very well acted film.
