Gone Girl

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2014 · Mystery, Thriller, Drama · David Fincher

46% overall puts Gone Girl near the middle of the pack. The round data tells a sharper story: strong in semis, a different film in finals. Fincher's coldest film and Rosamund Pike's most volcanic performance coexist in a thriller that leaves voters unsettled in a way they can't quite resolve. That lingering discomfort is a competitive advantage — it's hard to forget a film that made you feel implicated. 1.6s per vote suggests strong instincts. Most voters arrive at this matchup already knowing which way they lean.

Synopsis

With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.

The ceiling

49% in the semis, then 12% in the final. The drop isn't gradual — it's a cliff. Gone Girl looks like a contender right up until the bracket asks it to beat the best.

Gone Girl dominates Panic Room at 67%. Se7en at 14% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
