Two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner (The Bourne Legacy) leads an all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the remarkable true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to the shady origins of the men who started the crack epidemic on the nation’s streets … and further alleges that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua. Despite warnings from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop his investigation, Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications. His journey takes him from the prisons of California to the villages of Nicaragua to the highest corridors of power in Washington, D.C. — and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and his life.

Gone Girl is a bizarrely beautiful jigsaw puzzle from David Fincher

I have a semi-disturbing question for those of you who are married or in serious relationships – how well do you really know that person sleeping beside you? Their deepest desires, darkest secrets and inner workings and capabilities of their mind may surprise and/or scare you, if Twentieth Century Fox’s chilling thriller Gone Girl is any indication.

Starring Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, the husband who finds himself thrust in the spotlight of suspicion when his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) turns up missing on their anniversary, Gone Girl is based on a novel written by Gillian Flynn. Flynn also penned the screenplay, so I presume it must follow the plot of the book fairly closely, although I haven’t read it.

Similar to his other films Zodiac, Fight Club, Se7en and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher keeps the audience engaged and guessing about the many plot twists and turns as Gone Girl unfolds. The dark, almost melancholy backgrounds, Affleck’s haunting opening monologue about wanting to crack open his wife’s skull to spill forth her secrets, the stark-looking film credits and the eerie musical score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross wonderfully set the tone for the next two and a half hours. Gone Girl is like a beautiful but bizarre jigsaw puzzle that takes its time getting put together. It can be at times frustrating, at times predictable, at times outrageously absurd and at times so enlightening and/or frightening to ponder in its rich layers of complexity that probably no two people will share the same exact theater experience.
