So I just watched "Gone Girl" and it was pretty fantastic. I'm not gonna say too much about the movie's plot because it is something that can be spoiled but it was delivered extremely well the characters were unique, fleshed out and very entertaining.

The soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross was amazing as usual. The right songs were used in the right scenes making certain parts of the movie extremely intense and extremely disturbing, it was all incredibly well paced and I didn't even feel that it was two and a half hours I just wanted to keep going. It was refreshing to hear such professional sound mixing where everything seemed to be at the right level but the characters were still audible and could easily be understood.

All of the actors were great and Tyler Perry's inclusion did not destroy the movie for me at all. Despite how horrible of a director Tyler Perry is, it looks like David Fincher was a good enough director to be able to direct him to act well. Anyway Tyler Perry did not ruin the movie for me and to give credit where credit is due he did play his role very well granted the script wasn't written in a way that called for him to shine but he did fit his character.

The meticulous direction that David Fincher has over as actors is shown quite well in this movie. Many directors would have their actors merely pretending to text when their hands are off screen but in this film you can see actions like those subtly shown through the reflection of characters glasses. It never shoves that in your face doing a close up saying "Hey look do you see this extra detail I put in?" But rather lets you pick up on those things yourself and adds an extra layer of immersion into the film.

When the characters look like they're doing things that are just for the sake of the camera paying attention it helps us believe in the world we're seeing. I'm happy to say that a lot of care and effort was put into this film the story is pretty straightforward and I don't think it's something that I'll have to watch a second time to pick up more details but in my opinion it was riveting. The only real personal issue that I have with this movie is that I found myself yelling in my head at certain characters that should be doing things differently.

But otherwise the story was daring and absolutely fantastic.
