Review: Director David Fincher's adaptation of the book frenzy
in recent years, with
his last five films are adaptations of popular books. His latest, Lost, is an adaptation of the
bestseller of 2012, the author
Gillian Flynn of the same name.
The story follows Nick Dunne, the owner of a bar in the bar, as his wife Amy disappears the morning of his fifth birthday. It was not long before Nick is the prime suspect in his suspicion of murder. But is it really? Nick really kill his own wife?
We are two stories: one presented by Nick and the other by the newspaper of his wife. Both sides of the story are so compelling that it is not possible to decide who to trust. As Nick continues to slip deeper into the mud, I do not know if you are convicted of a crime committed or may have mercy on him when he is accused of a crime he did not commit. In fact, it is only able to choose a party when disclosure is great. And this is where the film shifts gears.
Start with the rhythm of a typical life of small, slow and docile, happy with the construction of the plot and setting things up for the cards are turned over people. Once this happens, the film goes into overdrive mode, ultra-violent, moves at a breakneck pace. Characters from stalker ex boyfriends bad TV presenters come. The skeletons start falling out of the closet and all hell breaks loose. There are movements against attacks, conspiracy, fraud, seduction, theft and all you can think of.
And amid this shit storm, all you can do is sit back and enjoy the different characters are exploited as pawns in a deadly game of chess; the film unravels and comes to an end, which makes full justice to all of the above; and thinks to himself in a state of shock, "mind = blown."
David Fincher here doing what he does best: tell a dark story,,, dark psychologically thrilling nervous with a twisted sense of humor and interesting characters with severe dementia. He did so successfully with Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network, which excels with Lost. Hell, he did successfully with even lower film of his career, a very decent The Game. A hair was out of place, would not have worked on the film; After all, none of the characters are very nice people or anyone you want to be alone in a room for a long time.
But Fincher operates, and it does it very well. It helped that the film is written by the same author Gillian Flynn, maneuvering all twists without overloading the public. Directs each scene and each voice off with surgical precision, and the result is probably the most delicious Hollywood film in the longest time. Yes, I said.
Ben Affleck stars as Nick Dunne, a kind of man to humble himself into a corner. Although some wood at the beginning Affleck in their own as the film that depicts efficiently all the emotions that come his character progresses at the end of the film. Rosamund Pike Amy Dunne is undoubtedly the performance of the film: expressionless and moderate in the history of the contents of your daily life, frantic and hysterical at the drop of a pin.
Neil Patrick Harris, one of the ex-boyfriend of Amy, is probably a little moved. I have no doubt that NPH dramatic chops to take on challenging roles, but it's just not scary enough to do justice to Desi Collins. Tyler Perry as a lawyer, Nick, is unrecognizable without wig and lipstick (the unfortunately popular character Madea in many films), but it is sufficiently effective in a small part. Carrie Coon (as Nick's Sister) and Kim Dickens (as the detective in the case of murder) can support.
The film is part of Gillian Flynn, David Fincher and Rosamund Pike. A murder mystery tale past mode is necessary and turns it into a classic of the new era that deserves multiple viewings to fully appreciate its brilliance. If you see one movie in the next year, that's all. This is a movie you should not miss at any cost. As if it was not already clear.
