Review of the film "The Disappeared" (2014): A comedy about a bloody showdown
David Fincher has proven more than once that he knows how to make movies. His "Fight Club" brought back the worldview of a number of teenagers, one of whom is the author of this review. Almost immediately after his debut, he showed that he can make an interesting and at the same time difficult movie that will keep the viewer in the tight embrace of the plot until the end credits. Therefore, watching this movie, I was sincerely sure that I would not be disappointed.
Ben Affleck's choice for the lead role was a bit surprising. After all, despite having 2 Oscars in his pockets, he still hasn't proven himself to be a really good actor. And his participation in the Batman v Superman project raised his standards. But we can say that Affleck coped almost perfectly, fitting into the role of a married man between the ages of 30 and 40. Here it is already possible to reveal some details of the plot without making spoilers. The story tells about the couple's celebration of the 5th anniversary of their wedding. And, at the last moment, one of the spouses disappears. As a result, all the evidence starts pointing to the other one. And that's all you need to know minimally.
By successfully manipulating the viewer's opinion, the director shows us the plot development. At some point, we change our perspective to another one. There are several plot twists in the film, before which you expect the impression of the finale. But, it won't happen the way it seems, which only increases the viewing pleasure. The media coverage of events is particularly well shown, which only adds points in empathy for the characters.
Speaking of heroes. Almost the only one to whom there are practically no complaints at the end of the film is Betaflek. Of course, you can find moments where he falls short, but in general he coped fine. Other colleagues on the set did much worse, especially those who attract attention due to the plot. It's about Neil Patrick Harris and Pike. We could have tried better, because in some moments you just want to shout "I don't believe it!". The action is saved by the minor characters, who give the whole picture a more lively touch. This is Kim Dickens and Kerry Coon, successfully sharing a frame with the main character. Well, I personally was not pleased with the lawyer. No one in Central America would agree to be defended by a lawyer whose skin color makes it easy for racists to find the latter.
There's not much of Finch's usual directorial style in movies. There wasn't enough room for the trademark noir and effects in this movie. Of course, it's unlikely that the film has lost anything from this, and it would all look strange. But, in the same "Social network" Fincher was felt much more strongly. However, David was able to save the situation by relying on musical collaboration with Trent Reznor and his band Atticus Ross. The director has already worked with them while working on the already mentioned "Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
And what do we have in the end? As a result, this is a great movie for fans of good movies. If you like Fincher, you won't be disappointed. If you like a good story movie with interesting twists, this is also for you. But if you resent the need to think about what's happening on the screen, or you can't watch movies without a few strokes of Bay in the frame, pass it by.
