Review:
If you haven't seen this film already or gotten a ticket to see it, I'm like shaking my head for you as I write because you don't know what you are missing. Gone girl has already made $77.9 millions at the box office in the U.S, now if that doesn't reek "success"for a movie I dont know what does...

This movie unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage, what happens beneath all the happy facade and luxurious lifestyle. It's an adaptation of a bestseller and though I haven't read the book, its is a remarkable case of a movie's quality matching the book's.

The duo of Affleck and Pike as lead actors lends a sterling credibility to the already intriguing movie and it speaks of the director's impeccable ability to balance artistry and real life.
Drag your friend/partner to go see this one as I did with my hubs; its not something you want to go see alone..you know what they say about good things...its not suitable for just one person!!!

Don't despair if there's none to take, enclosed is my contact details(0800--DEBS);beep me, I'll be glad to be the second pair of eyes, besides what's a good movie until you've watched it twice..haha

It's Tomatometer reading is 88%, with an audience pop-corn score of 90%.

Till next week when I come calling with another great review, remember it all starts and ends with Jesus. Life without Christ is full time crisis.

Happy Viewing :)
