Gone Girl* (18)  
Cineworld Ipswich                    

(US 2014)

A former media executive in Missouri finds his wife has disappeared on their wedding anniversary, and he is engineered to be the chief murder suspect.
Long and complex missing person thriller that Hitchcock would've had more fun with - and given the central character much more paranoia towards the police investigating him. As most of the characters are fairly unpleasant anyway, the unfolding of the plot's resolution (replacing the novel's subjective double narrative with the wife's account in semi-flashback) is the only chief point of interest, after the first hour leading up to the implausible twists.
