Viewer Reviews (TMDb)

  • Good cast and decent story, although the end is not very convincing. The cut of the movie is really good and Rosamund Pike is genuinely scary. Not a master piece but quite good given the lack of passable movies lately.

  • Why do David Fincher's movies ALWAYS produce such amazing trailers?? Was he involved in these trailers? Is either that or he insists on only using a particular team to edit his trailers, 'cause they are just masterpieces, Social Network, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl
