Girl Gone would’ve been a better title, but that fault goes to the Gillian Flynn book this movie is based on. It’s a novel not based on a true story because true stories aren’t (usually) this melodramatic. It starts off decently; a man’s wife goes missing and he’s suspected of murdering her; but the plot loses its way to what, in a crime flick that’s supposed to be realistic, equates to utter absurdity during the final third.
