‘Gone Girl’ good, not great
David Fincher’s Gone Girl seems like a combination of his brilliant The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and disappointing Zodiac in style, story and quality. It’s worth seeing and is one of the most memorable films of the year, but it seems almost as if he was swinging for a grand slam and could manage only a double or a triple. Sometimes the style is great while sometimes he pushes it to almost an embarrassing level, and I never believed any of the media characters. 3 stars (on my 0-5 scale)
