1) Gone Girl (2014)
UNQUESTIONABLY Pike’s most iconic role to date, Gone Girl displayed what an layered and captivating actress she is.
She’s also decent in “Beirut”, but I have to agree that “Gone Girl” was here best role.
I haven’t seen Beirut yet. Will have to give it a watch!
The film isn’t anything special, but Jon Hamm and Rosamund Pike are both great.
Absolutely loved Pike in Gone Girl. Best role to date by her!!!
Me too! Saw that film way too many times when it came out.
