How do movies like this get made? That's the first question.
The second question is, why have thousands of people rated this movie so highly?
I guess they're suckers for punishment. So what's wrong with the movie?
Well for starters nothing come across as real. A guy's wife goes missing. He says, because he finds a smashed coffee table, that's proof something is wrong. Err, no. It's still afternoon outside. If she has gone, it looks like barely 30 minutes.
Another thing is the cops investigation is just so fake. Cops aren't real and neither are the performances. Ben Affleck is as stiff as a corpse. And I'm sorry but Rosamund Pike is no better. She walks about the place with this constant smug expression on her face. So annoying.
All in all I couldn't give two figs about the characters or the plot. The movie is too long. Even if they shaved an hour off it, it would still be boring.
Avoid.
