The film's pieces don't always fit together, but even in isolation, some of those pieces are well worth watching. Read full review

Seyfried has spent too much time lately in vehicles that aren't worthy of her, "Red Riding Hood" being the most egregious example. Gone at least takes her seriously – except when, to delicious effect, it doesn't. Read full review

Which stinks worse? The absurdly large pile of red herrings Gone amasses? Or the film's sub-Scooby Doo conclusion? Read full review

There's no thrill in Gone because you can see every surprise coming. It lies there flapping like a dying fish. Skip it. Read full review

Seyfried acquits herself admirably in the panicky, hysterical mode, if that's what you're looking for, but by the time the final, goofy revelations roll around, you're slapping yourself for not having just taken a nap instead. Read full review

Gone is also your hard-earned money if you buy a ticket to this slack piece of work, a movie that makes "Murder on the Orient Express" feel like "The Silence of the Lambs" by comparison. Read full review

The one cop (Bentley) who buys Jill's story looks like the most likely suspect (or at least the most likely red herring) - and then he vanishes for the entire third act to, supposedly, make his mother some soup. Wait, what? Read full review

8/10 for this film. I enjoyed this film but there are some plot holes and some of the twists don't make sense. The one guy who actually does believe her seems to be the suspect but then suddenly this new guy comes out of nowhere. Those twists and holes are the reason I am giving this an 88/10 for this film.

It was worth watching. Decent thriller / suspense movie. Nothing groundbreaking. But definitely worth renting at from Redbox. I think the critics were a bit harsh. If you're just looking to be entertained it will suffice.

It wasn't a fantastic film, but entertaining enough for the $1.27 Redbox rental. My absolute favorite part was the ending, which surprised me (in a good way). It isn't often enough that justice is TRULY done in this genre.

No, it's not a terrible film. Amanda S. has enough magnetism that she can carry it most of the way. Is "the journey" believable? Hell no. It almost feels like one of those USA procedurals in which you know the main character will get him/herself out of these preposterous situations becauseNo, it's not a terrible film. Amanda S. has enough magnetism that she can carry it most of the way. Is "the journey" believable? Hell no. It almost feels like one of those USA procedurals in which you know the main character will get him/herself out of these preposterous situations because there are 15 more episodes left in the season and we like her too much. So her rogue investigation of her sister's disappearance while she eludes scores of police officers strains credulity. But you know what? I had fun with it. I give it a four because the technical merit scores are just too low. If you're in the mood for some popcorn and some action on the big screen, you could do worse this first week in March.… Expand

Its mildly thrilling but there are zero scary parts. Its flawed but mildly enjoyable to watch. Its predictable and there are an awful lot of plot holes, but at least the action scenes are memorable.

I wanna keep this short because I don't want to sink anymore of my time into this despicable movie. It starts off flat and goes nowhere fast. Give us something, give us SOMETHING to chew on!

I mean would a little music to take things up a notch kill you?? I feel the plot gasping for air not even 30 minutes in, thats when you know we're in for a really bumpy ride through a dark boring forrest. The end climax had such potential, but director Heitor Dhalia must have said, "Remember guys we're trying to make a bad movie here."… Expand
