I watched Before I go to sleep and Gone girl on 2 consecutive days and I liked the former much more. First of all, the run time is less and it's not too complicated. You almost have a clear idea of the lead actress's confusion within the first 20 minutes.
Acting was surely good.. Nicole Kidman plays her role very well, but the show stealer was Colin Firth! The neutral element he brings to his character and the way he balances his act throughout the movie were amazing. He alone managed to bring some tension to the movie.
It's no rocket science suspense..you just have to sit back and the mystery unravels the way you want and when you want it to. Overall, it's not one to be watched in a theater, but makes for a great DVD night or afternoon or whatever's your thing.
