Gone Girl is a sick movie, but it's a lumbering, anti-imaginative kind of sick.

Fincher is as Fincher does. And what Fincher does better than almost anyone is create moody, meticulously crafted thrillers that straddle the divide between genre and art.

Gone Girl promises to be an unnerving portrait of marriage as ruin, but then it opts for madness and implausibility.

This is a nutty film, and for the most part I mean that in a good way.
