Trivia

During an August 2014 interview with New York Magazine, Tyler Perry said that he didn't know anything about the movie's source novel, or David Fincher, and that he wouldn't have accepted his role in the movie if he had: "I probably would have walked away from it. If I had known who David Fincher was, and his body of work, or if I'd known the book was so popular, and so many people loved it, I would have said, 'No', and my agent knew that! He didn't tell me until after I signed on, and the reason I wouldn't have done it, is because when things are that magical for people, and they become very special for people, there's a lot of pressure for it to be what they want it to be."

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?

User Reviews

Gone Girl

A drama in the beginning became a thriller by reasoning. The best muse I felt was the setting which provided the inspiration for the switch. The best actor in the movie was Ben Affleck with best face - confused state of mind. The story-line really I felt catered to the well-informed because it changed. It's meant for those that anticipate watching the whole movie not just parts. It requires attention and attention to detail; thought provoking. It used a favorite quality of mine called "thinking outside the box" with a retrospect to the innermost thoughts of a killer. The metaphor and plot formed in the folds of that relationship making this a unique book to movie thriller
