The movie is very well done. I thought Affleck was terrible. My first reaction was,do this again with a real actor.

Later I thought maybe Affleck got it right and he was acting like an emotionless ass because that is who Nick Dunn is.

The lead actress is great. Her psycho craziness is so over the top, the audience actually laughed out loud at some of the biggest shock moments.

If you read the book,it is worth seeing. If you didn't read the book,you are in for quite an experience.
