Did you know
- TriviaBen Affleck postponed directing Live by Night (2016) in order to work on this film with David Fincher, even stating, "He's the only director I've met who can do everybody else's job better than they could." On-set one day, Affleck changed the lens setting on a camera an almost indiscernible amount, betting a crew member that Fincher wouldn't notice. Affleck lost the bet as Fincher brought up, "Why does the camera look a little dim?"
- GoofsOne piece of crucial evidence that could have implicated Amy, and be seen as highly suspicious, is the getaway car that she used. She bought the car from a Craigslist seller, and picked it up in person, so the seller in question would definitely have seen her face. She is found by Desi Collings at the casino and he takes her to his home, in his car, leaving her car behind at the casino. The car would eventually be towed by the tow truck company, and they'd naturally try to contact the original owner. The car originally belonged to the Craigslist seller, and he'd definitely remember that he sold his car to Amy, as her disappearance became a nationwide media frenzy and he'd recognize her by memory. This would lead to the authorities checking out the surveillance footage of the casino where the car was left (which the casino would definitely have, so as to catch cheaters), and they'd see Amy being friendly, civil, and relaxed with her supposed "kidnapper". While the novel does have a scene showing Desi helping Amy to dispose of the car in a lake, such a scene is never shown in the film, so the car just disappears from the film without explanation.

[last lines]
Nick Dunne: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?
- Crazy creditsInstead of the traditional 20th Century Fox music that accompanies the logo in the beginning usually, a track from the soundtrack, "What Have We Done to Each Other?" (the first track) plays while the logo is shown, and continues through the Regency logo and the movie's opening credits.
Featured review
Perfect example of a modern day thriller
David Fincher has done what i thought was the impossible, by making a movie from a book, and it actually being good, i'm even going to say better than the book, and i don't give that out lightly.
First off, the use of sound within the film, both diegetic and nondiegetic really sell this film to me, it does a great job in unnerving us as an audience and its just a little off, if i looked at the score of the film, i wouldn't be surprised if it comprised of tritones (For those who don't know, tritones make music sound just that tad off), and the synth sorta sound reminds me a lot of Alex Forrest's signature tune from "Fatal Attraction (1987), Adrian Lyon"
The Story is fantastic it really shows the disconnect between people in the modern day, and how the media influences everything so strongly.
In Summary this movie is a great watch, and if you enjoy the genre, or just trying to put together pieces of a metaphorical puzzle you will enjoy this movie.
