Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: In a panning side-shot which lasts approximately 5 seconds, we see a man performing oral sex on a woman. His head is between her legs as she writhes and moans. She is only wearing a shirt (nothing can be seen).
A man and woman have sex in a library. We briefly see her lying on a table whilst he stands and thrusts (nothing is seen).
A man and his mistress kiss passionately. She removes her top, revealing her bare breasts. Sex is implied. The next morning, she is shown dressing and her breasts are shown again.
A woman stands in a shower, revealing a small part of her bare buttocks and about half of the side of her breast. A man joins her; his penis is briefly shown as he enters the shower and buttocks are visible.
There are several strong references to sexual acts including oral sex and sexual assault.
A man (fully clothed) and woman (wearing a bra and panties) have sex. She is acting aggressive and pulls down the man's pants, revealing his bare buttocks. Her head disappears off-screen and there are noises, implying oral sex. She then pulls the man onto a bed and they begin having sex.
In a shower scene, a man's penis is seen for a split second.
Violence & Gore: There is a scene that is very bloody & violent (R-rated)
Profanity: The F word is shown written out on screen when looking at a close-up shot of a woman's diary. The entry is read aloud.
4 consecutive uses of the C word.
A woman suggests to a man that he slap his wife with his penis.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: A lot of characters socially drink (but not to the point of getting drunk).
A few characters smoke.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: There is suspense and tension which can be intense.
As in the book, domestic violence, infidelity, abortion and once rape is even brought up. The movie follows the book very closely except for a different ending.
The music and cinematography add to the theme to create an overall feeling of strong intensity throughout much of the movie.
Story: On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne reports that his wife, Amy, has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick's portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behaviour have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?
Likes : I will admit that when i first saw this film trailer i thought this was going to be other slow boring film but this seriously blow my mind on just how dark & twisted this film is in storyline which leave you thinking did the main character do it, which make it good & by the second act of the film you see what is really going on this is where it take on this very twisted dark tone which is clever.
Director David Fincher know how to make a stylish new mystery thriller deliver a dark twisted tale from Gillian Flynn's intriguingly slick tale from her complex and suspenseful novel. By far one of the best acting performances to have come from Ben Affleck in Gone Girl' i know alot of people dont rate Ben as being a great actor i think his is because of dare devil which was poorly story scripted but this film he give one of his best performance in a film.
Above all the actors in this film the one person that complete stole this film in performance was the beautiful Rosamund Pike her performance was so convincing , twisted & dark it was unreal, the way your watching her on screen playing this role serious dose put chills down you spine as teh story start to reveal it self & what's truly going on she deliver a performance that steels the film,
Neil Patrick Harris role is kind of cameo role but still put in a performance that is slightly dark in some ways as you wonder what his up to with certain things that happen in this film, but some of this film will shock you & make you keep watch right to the end of the film because it really dose draw you in to what's going to happen next.
The actual tone of the film is slightly depressing with it dark tone but it cleverly done to bring the feel of the film & what is going on it make you think & question curtain things that are happening which makes this film clever, although its not without its flaw. Fincher exercises upon his trademarks with the swift and stunning cinematography & chilling score with tight editing, which makes 'Gone Girl' a movie full of great visual storytelling & twisted dark tones. This is a film i recommend watching if you in to those dark thrillers.
Dislikes : This film was good all the way through until the ending of the film, i hate when films dont have a resolution-al ending & leave it open-ended it leave you think that there could of been more to the story or have an end that will resolve itself to give a good ending, this is the only flaw i saw in this film apart from that this film really draws you in..
Overall : Dark, twisted make you think twice about the person you meet, great storyline, poor ending
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for storyline.
