There’s never a bad time to watch David Fincher’s chilling 2014 drama Gone Girl, and now that the thriller is streaming on HBO Max, it’s easier than ever. Ben Affleck stars as the charming writing teacher Nick Dunne, whose supposedly idyllic marriage to wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) is shattered when she mysteriously disappears from their quiet Missouri town one morning. As Nick tries to unravel what happened to Amy, he reveals that their relationship was much more twisted than it appeared. And when we finally get her side of the story, the film flips the script with mesmerizing results.
