Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!
This film is based off the novel of the same title written by Gillian Flynn. Libby Day, a survivor of family murders, is convinced to take a second glance at the crime scene with assistance from a specialized club. While revisiting her past, she discovers that the wrong killer was arrested for the crime.
This film was directed by Gilles Paquet-Brenner. I cannot tell how true this film was to the novel. However, the written story is unique and a decent mystery. The characters motivations, and histories, are very poorly explained; which leads to a poorly devised ending. I did enjoy how it told a past story, and present story. Even tough it felt that the audience was learning more than the central character. It was also unfortunate that in hte past story there was very little focus on young Libby Day. The use of a murder investigators club was cool, but they didn't feel necessary. There is some violence, but not a lot of gore. Charlize Theron played the role of Libby Day. She was good in her brooding character. Nicholas Hoult played the role of Lyle Wirth. He was a good supporting actor.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a decent mystery even if its poorly devised.
This film can be seen on DVD.
