Desi was shown as a well to do man who would have a smart phone with him. Amy's supposed kidnapping could be tied to a certain date between certain times. Since her concocting Desi kidnapping her was not part of her original plan, she could not account for Desi's location on the date she was supposedly kidnapped. A police investigation would routinely use tracking of Desi's smart phone on the date he had supposedly kidnapped Amy. Since he was in fact far away at the time, he could easily have been eliminated as a suspect, which would then cast great doubt on her story and lead to charges against her. There would also exist any number of people that had seen him where he actually was that would have the same end result of excluding him. See more »

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?

David Fincher is a phenomenal craftsman. His visual style dominates every inch of the frame but why is it that I left the theater so untouched, so unscathed. I told the story to someone over dinner and I couldn't do it without laughing. This is no comedy, or is it? So, what is it about David Fincher's movies that include some shocking stuff without shocking me. I can observe without participating. Cold, maybe that's it. The passionate story is told without passion but with a feverish attention to the cosmetic veil that covers or masks the real story. I wasn't bored, just impatient and a bit put off. I admired the performances and wondered about the casting of Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry. I suspect is code for something but I can't imagine what. After all said and done, goo see it.
