AxlsMainMan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I know Gone Girl was very popular around here so I gotta' recommend this flick as found it to be very much in the same vein. Lots of nods to Hitchcock and classic flicks like Fatal Attraction and Unlawful Entry while still being quite fresh and full of twists and turns: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Gone Girl is really interesting and well done, even if it's one of Fincher's weaker films, but it's far and away a class above The Gift.That being said, it was pretty solid, if a bit simplistic. Pretty much my thoughts. Recommended for a viewing, but nothing that I'm greatly looking to watch again like I did Gone Girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I actually liked The Gift a lot more than Gone Girl. I wasn't a huge fan of Gone Girl's second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsMainMan Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I actually liked The Gift a lot more than Gone Girl. I wasn't a huge fan of Gone Girl's second halfI think a big part of Gone Girl's problem is that Ben Afleck - outside of Good Will Hunting - is a horrific actor. Imagine how much better Gone Girl might've been with Leo DiCaprio or someone even remotely competent as an actor in that role instead.

Lithium Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yup, didn't see it coming. It was real creepy, my girlfriend thought it was terrifying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've seen it, but at what point would you consider the "big twist"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlsMainMan Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've seen it, but at what point would you consider the "big twist"?When Jason Bateman gets the video tape from Gordo after the kid is born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
