Gone Title

"Gone Girl" stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Tyler Perry and Neal Patrick Harris. The film was directed by David Fincher and is based on the book by Gillian Flynn who also wrote the screenplay adaptation of her novel.  Despite its extraordinary length, i.e. almost 2 and ¾ hours, the film manages to hold the audience’s intetest. Unfortnately, and notwithstanding good acting by Mr. Affleck and Ms. Pike, there are glaring flaws in the scrip that are never explained or accounted for and, in most instances, simply don’t make sense. To elaborate further would give away the plot and that is someithing I prefer not to do. Suffice it to say that the film, after it ends, leaves open many unanswered questions and fails to resolve blatant inconsistencies. I give the movie 2 and ½ stars noting tha the film could have been more enjoyable to watch if there had been less things so difficult to reconcile and understand.
