The apparent question is: Did a happily-married man (Ben Affleck) kill his wife (Rosamund Pike)? It’s not long before the dark water gets very cloudy, even murky. What’s really going on and who’s actually involved? The performances are strong and the pressure is constant. Director David Fincher has crafted a smart & slyly suspenseful investigation into love and deception on any number of levels.
