This is a great murder mystery film. It felt like three movies in one. I haven’t read the book, but it was clear that director David Fincher and the writers/producers left in a ton of content that I think a lot of other people would have removed for time, and I love that. Movies that are unnecessarily long usually bug me, but at two hours and forty minutes, this one felt just right. One of the best compliments I can give is that I did not check the time once, which I almost always do. It was gripping, and I was eager to discover what the final result of the story would be. It often went off in places I really didn’t expect, and while I enjoy being surprised during a film, I have to admit I was not BLOWN AWAY at the overall product. It’s a great movie with an intriguing story, badass soundtrack, and solid performances, but I would not URGE someone to go out and see this film. This isn’t a bad review, It’s a good movie. I just expected it to be even better.
