Gone Girl (on Blu-Ray)

My Wife is not a movie person but when she says she wish to see one, I hold indefinitely for her. That is the rule.
Still we missed it on the big screen and had to turn to the next best thing...

Every now and then, a seemingly unknown film jumps out and surprise us. We hope and pray for such experiences every time we buy a ticket but very few are able to match that kinda of expectations. With David Finch at the helm, this one did more than that.

I am really on thin ice here trying to relay the calibre of the story without betraying its plot. I have to try...

The film starts out slow, building the characters and their relationship with one another.
However, no time is wasted after that is established and one thing soon turns into something absolutely sinister as the plot unfolds and more details of the case come to light.
Halfway into the story, we are already hooked and cannot wait to get to the bottom of this can of worms.
Just when you do not think the story could not possibly get any better (or worse). The film drops you yet again.

Ben Affleck is well, Ben Affleck. But his counter-part Rosamund Pike is such an unforgettable face who has been starring in very forgettable roles... 
Not anymore.  

This film questions how much we truly know our spouse and when pushed, the unimaginable things they are capable of.

My Wife is not a movie person but she is a scary pick on films...
