Gone Girl

It's pretty dang good story, but they were a couple of little hiccups that bugged me. WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD.

- Nick is talking to the detectives about some of the other people Amy had trouble with in the past. Nick asks about one in particular and the cops tell Nick that he is not a suspect. Nick persists and the cops are positive, but Nick DOES NOT ASK WHY and the cops don't tell him.

- Amy is at cabin in the Ozarks, packing to leave, and a couple of acquaintances come to the door and SHE LETS THEM IN. Nothing good will come of this. The man is poking through her cupboards, the woman is leaning against the door.

- The attorney Nick hires wants $100,000 retainer. Where the hell is Nick going to get that kind of money? He had to borrow $80 grand from his wife to buy the bar.

- After the press conference Nick wants to go to the police station and tell the cops his story. He does this against the advice of the attorney that he just hired for $100,000. WTF?

- Towards the end, when Amy announces she is pregnant again, Nick is suddenly consumed by fatherly concern. He's hanging with Psycho Bitch, waiting for something that will allow him to cut his ties to her and he is suddenly concerned because she's pregnant? Bullshit! She wants to be pregnant and have a kid, go for it. Me, I'm out of here. Fortunately there were only a couple of pages to go.
