“The truth is malleable. You just need to pick the right expert.”

Nick Dunne thought he knew his wife, Amy. But as secrets unleash, he finds himself in a web of lies. The line between truth and deception blurs.

And every twist makes you think what if the truth you thought you knew was just a clever illusion?

Have you read or watched Gone Girl yet? Which one did you prefer—the book or the movie?

No one gets caught for the cr*me but for their mistakes. Because the real art isn’t the act, it’s the planning!

Scott Murdock wasn’t just a forensic expert; he saw what others missed.

But in this case? Different. Darker. De*dl*er.

Grace Ballard wasn’t just a Hollywood star; she knew how to play the game both on and off the screen. If you love a good mystery with a dash of glamour, you should watch this movie of hers.
