Storyline
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
Mixed feelings, hear me out.
There's no denying that this is a great film and from what I've heard a great book as well, you can see that I gave it a 9/10 rating, but there's a catch especially for me personally with this movie. The shorts version I can tell you and with my hand to God no lie this movie single handedly put the nail in the coffin for my marriage without me even being the wiser. So for as much as I do appreciate the detailed and intriguing story, watching it years later after my divorce it sends chills through my body knowing that my ex wife and I enjoyed this movie together, and obviously me not knowing just how much she loved it but how it inspired her to go about divorcing me in the way that she did, be weary because there are sick people (men and women) in this world that will vindictively assassinate someone else's character and well being just to avenge whatever perversion that they're transfixed on in their own mind. I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, I'm just stating a fact that happened to me, I don't advise watching this for the first time with a love partner, it could unhinge the mind beyond a point of no return, I'm absolutely 100% serious about this, this is not a joke.
