Goofs

When Nick is in the airport on his way to meet Tanner Bolt, he sees a photo display publicizing his wife's disappearance. The display also features Amy's basic physical characteristics- height, hair color, and eye color. It lists her eye color as brown, but Amy has grey/green eyes throughout the film.

Quotes

[first lines]
Nick Dunne: When I think of my wife, I always think of the back of her head. I picture cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brain, trying to get answers. The primal questions of a marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?
