When a seemingly happily married woman (Rosamund Pike)
vanishes without a trace suspicion quickly falls on her husband (Ben Affleck).
The couple’s happy façade is soon exposed as a sham as we
learn their troubles through a series of flashbacks. When we return to present
day proceedings events take a surprising turn as nothing is what it appears to
be.
Saying any more would risk spoilers but rest assured that
this is a compelling tale that makes it easy to see why the book of the same
name was a bestseller. Affleck and Oscar nominated Pike are excellent and there
is decent support from Neil Patrick Harris (Starship Troopers).
Seven director David Fincher delivers a series of twists and
turns that should delight anyone who hasn't read the book although the finale
did feel like a little over-stretching of the imagination.
Ric’s Rating: Highly Recommended.
