PEOPLE MAGAZINE: Gone Girl, director David Fincher's version of Gillian Flynn's best-selling novel, is something of a marvel, a disturbing, one-of-a-kind creature as confoundingly dangerous as a poisonous snake equipped at either end with a head, forked tongue and fangs.
No matter where you pick it up to examine it, you can expect to be bitten.
The movie, which is quite faithful to the original, is terrific entertainment whether or not you've read the novel. It's better than the book.
Fincher has also included one moment of intense, shocking violence shot and edited with bravura fluidity. It will be the most talked-about scene in what could be the year's most talked-about movie.
Gone Girl ranks with those other classics of malice, Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. Only possibly better.
