10 Most Unreliable Movie Narrators Of All Time

10. Nick And Amy Dunne - Gone Girl

When Nick Dunne first discovers his wife Amy missing, we feel bad for him. We can only imagine what such a situation would do to a person. But as it turns out, Nick seems less concerned than everyone watching. He acts aloof and disinterested, and almost seems to be a freer man now that his wife is gone.

So when police suspect that Amy was murdered, Nick’s attitude and the available evidence all seem to suggest that he is the killer. Despite their seemingly perfect appearances, the couple had been falling out, wading through money troubles, and Nick had begun having an affair. Detectives find a diary written by Amy, in which she details her growing fear that Nick is going to kill her. The tables have turned, and we suddenly feel no love towards Nick, and only sympathy towards the deceased Amy.

But Amy isn’t dead. She’s living high and dry on a campground, having skipped town after planting evidence to frame Nick for the murder. From the flashbacks to the media circus, we now no longer know who to trust. Both Amy and Nick had initially seemed like normal, respectable people, but it turns out the latter is one of the lousiest husbands ever, and the former is a bonafide sociopath.
