The cinematographer kept the visual tone cool and detached even if the events heat up. it's a picture perfect world where untouched clatrity of crime is presented. This 149 min film neither drags not is mood settler.. It slips from classy narcissistic humor to exploitation inflected thrills.
Verdict: Gone Girl can definitely be watched on the screen for the unexpectable mysterious crime.
