Stuck in Hereford this weekend so I thought I'd take advantage of the Odeon's 40% off deal (£5.90's better than a tenner!) and catch this little doozie.
I'm a fan of David Fincher. I rate 'Fight Club' as one of my all time favourites. Plus 'Panic Room' and 'The Social Network' are excellent examples of their genre..
Based on a best seller, this one see's Ben 'New Batman' Afleck and Rosamond 'The Worlds End', 'Jack Reacher' Pike as a couple of married writers, Nick and Amy. The relationship starts off well as they always do until, on their 5th wedding anniversary Nick arrives home to find Amy gone... He calls the police, as there are signs of a struggle and when they turn up the plot starts to develop.... and develop it does..
Without giving away any spoilers , this was one of those films when you have to concentrate.. No nipping off to the loo half way through.. I enjoyed it. Both Ben & Rosamond are excellent and 'a little creepy' so you never know who to trust. There's twists-a-plenty and I was on edge throughout most of the movie waiting for that '18 certificate' moment... Which never really happened... Granted there was the odd gore and bad (very bad) language throughout, but I think it must have been the sexual violence that granted it it's certificate.. That being said the ending almost left it open for a sequel..
Overall another **** movie for Hereford's Odeon..
