I thought it was awesome despite seeing the twist coming. I'm guessing most people will know what's coming. The climax and aftermath was a tad silly, but it worked for me in the spirit of the movie. It was darkly comic.

Everyone involved was top notch. Fincher, DP Jeff Cronenweth, the editors, Affleck. The score is still playing in my head and I think Reznor & Ross will get a well deserved Oscar nomination.

The big star of this is the Rosamund Pike. She might win best actress.

Fincher's top films imo.

Se7en *****
The Social Network *****
Fight Club *****
Zodiac ****1/2
Gone Girl ****1/2
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ****
The Game ***1/2 (Great cast, great premise. I imagine how much better this movie would have been with Reznor doing the music. I know he's only done the last three but the music in this one seemed too generic thrillerish)
Panic Room ***
Alien 3 *1/2

I have to rewatch Benjamin Button and give it a score and rank. It would probably be around Panic Room or below if I recall.

I adore David Fincher and he's probably my favourite all time director alongside a cult fave John Carpenter.
