The only negative thing I could say about it is that I'm sad that I'll never get that "first watch" back again. 11/10.
I think my fav scene might have been near the end of the first third, when...

Spoiler for spoiler:
... the cops finally start putting pressure on Ben Affleck, right after the wife's "friend" drops the pregnancy bombshell. Up until then, the police had been very laid back, almost friendly at times, I guess to keep him relaxed. Then on a dime they switch gears and just throw him completely off balance. The movie had been very slow-burning up till that point, and then all of a sudden it was so intense I started trembling. It really showed just how mediocre shows like CSI are with their interrogation scenes that try too hard to be intense and just end up feeling cliched.

It wasn't as obviously a standout scene as the shower scene or when the wife kills Neil Patrick Harris, but it was the scene that made me go from highly interested to totally sucked in.
