    No one believes her. Nothing will stop her.

    Good movie! 'Gone' kept my attention and kept me interested for the majority of its length. Fast pacing, serviceable dialog, and pleasant visuals were part of the reason. The entire film follows the protagonist, rather than focusing e... read morequal part on serial killer, but it does not detract from the depth film at all, and actually helps the pacing. Very good acting from Amanda Seyfried! Pretty good thriller, I would recommend it.

    n the chilling suspense thriller 'Gone,' Jill Parrish (Amanda Seyfried) comes home from a night shift to discover her sister Molly has been abducted. Jill, having escaped from a kidnapping a year before, is convinced that the same serial killer has come back and taken Molly. Since the killer leaves no trace, the police don't have any evidence and can't help her. Afraid that Molly will be dead by sunrise, Jill sets out alone on a nail-biting chase to come face-to-face with the killer. Will she have enough time to find and outwit him, expose his secrets and save her sister?

    the major thing i wanna complain is how irrationally stupid the actual killer is. not creepy, not suspenseful.

    Having been abducted herself a year previously, Seyfried takes the law into her own hands when her sister disappears.

    It seems like every bad Hollywood thriller has been set in the Pacific Northwest recently. They all share the exact same credit sequence, a helicopter shot fo... read morellowing the protagonist as they drive through the landscape, the road flanked by thick woodland. This is but the first cliche delivered here. At one point we get the obligatory jump scare involving a cat in a closet. I can understand how a cat might get inside a closet but without the aid of opposable thumbs how on earth do they manage to close the door behind them? This is the sort of question you'll be asking yourself while watching this, as it sure beats concentrating on the film.
    I'm not sure if Seyfried is really this bad an actress or if it's just the painful dialogue she has to vomit throughout. She constantly looks confused and I'm not sure if that's acting. Anyone who grew up in the eighties will remember the moment in "Commando" when a thug pleads with Arnie "You said you wouldn't kill me!" only to be dropped off a clifftop as the Austrian Olivier replies "I lied!" That scene is replayed verbatim with Seyfried in the Arnie role. Strangely it's not actually the worst moment in the film.
    Of course it wouldn't be a modern thriller without desaturated cinematography, so extreme here that every actor looks like they were recently pronounced dead, and in some cases rigor mortis is setting in. Why you would shoot in such a colorful location only to remove all color from the final film is a puzzle to me. So many film-makers seem to think thrillers can't be colorful. They can. There once was an overweight English director who filled his thrillers with color no matter how dark the subject, but I wouldn't expect the hacks of today to be familiar with his work.
    I suspect the movie's title may be prophetic for the career of it's director.

    "Gone" is the kind of movie that you watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon when there is literally nothing else on. This will also take place a year or so from now when the film makes its premiere on television because there is no way anyone will have remembered it had a theatrical r... read moreun or will likely even notice it on the rental shelves. The appealing Amanda Seyfried headlines this thriller that is actually a pro-longed guessing game that should have made its home on the Lifetime network in the first place. As Jill Seyfried is a girl without trust and suspicious of all those that try to get too close to her. She lives with her sister and is convinced that the same guy who kidnapped her two years ago has now taken her sister in place of her. It is a nice set up with a consistent tone, but the story goes nowhere and the ending is just completely ridiculous and makes little sense. Supporting players like Jennifer Carpenter and Wes Bentley show up in what are ultimately pointless roles in a movie that is so easily forgettable it is a wonder yone wasted their time. The theater I saw this in contained only a small group of pre-teen and teenage girls that seemed to rather enjoy the tough girl act that Seyfried put on. This only shows that at least the actress knows her fan base and what they want to see, but she would have done better doing a guest spot on "Pretty Little Liars". Teenage girls deserve and need more intelligent stories than this.

    Gone surprisingly kept my attention for most of its length. It was fast pacing, had decent dialog and pleasant visuals. And to tell the truth it was the work of Amanda Seyfried who was quite excellent as Jill. She stole every scene she was in. There was some interesting quality s... read morehe had that kept you following her. But what made Gone a less successful film was the way in which the plot unfolded The credibility was poor by showing how clues just appeared for Jill. To start with the neighbor across the street, he just could tell her the most detailed information about a van, the color, how long it was parked, and what was written on it. This was not so unlikely, but when this leads to what looks like a simple Google search resulting in finding a van that matches the description, it seemed all just too easy. I suppose it allowed the film to move along, but it did not bear a viewer's believe and just got ridiculous! To top things off, the ending was hardly satisfying. One aspect of the small twist was enough, but the rest of the ending was too exaggerating. Watch this if you really like poor suspense thrillers or if you don't have anything else to watch.

    The movie was tense at times but in the end I couldn't agree with how it ended. Too many psudo-fake outs and unresolved plot points. Unrealistic to say the least.

    This would even be a bad made for TV movie. There is no suspense, the flow of Gone is lame, and there is no doubt as to what's happening in the movie. I can't give away the ending, but it's nothing I would have missed if got up to pee and didn't see. It was that bad.

    I'm tired ... read moreof saying that Seyfried is a good actress. If she keeps giving this kind of performance, sooner or later I just have to admit she's not that good. In Gone it's exaggerated. She's in way over her head in this role, and adds nothing to a shoddy film. Too many scenes are put in place that just don't matter, don't take the movie anywhere, and aren't interesting. The few pertinent ones are dragged out and made even more boring.

    Allison Burnett is a bad enough writer, but throw in a mediocre director and an editor who's done a couple of good movies and a bunch of bad ones, and this thing didn't have a change from the get-go.

    Skip it. Whether it's free or someone offers you money to watch it; don't waste your time.

    basically this is Taken. The story is just not strong enough. It's so cliche and not unique in any way. Pretty dumb actually.

    Thrillers are suppose to thrill and keep you on the edge of your seat. Not this one. This one wants to develop a bunch of slow drawn out scenes that have no suspense whatsoever. The acting is wooden and the actors involved look like they don't want to be there. Except for Amanda ... read moreSeyfried, the star of the film. She's a good actress, but sadly she's in a VERY bad movie. I was reminded in her performance of Lindsay Lohan when she played in 'I Know Who Killed Me'. That's not either a compliment or insult because the character she's playing almost mirrors the character in the film Lohan played (minus the stripping scenes).

    If 'Gone' had a little more interest in what it was doing it would've been a good movie, but with a script that could've used some tweaking, acting that seems phoned in and the slow paced direction all I can say once it was over is that I've seen better.

    GONE, directed by Heitor Dhalia is a valiant effort, though it just doesn't come together as well as the filmmakers wanted it to. THe talent is there with Dhalia and actors Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Carpenter and Wes Bentley, but the story about a woman who comes home from a ni... read moreght shift to discover her sister has been abducted does not produce the tension needed.

There's nothing in the film - which lacks urgency - or Seyfried's eyes or physical demeanor that suggests panic, fear, desperation. Full Review

Gifted and sincere as she always is, there's not much Ms. Seyfried can do with this tripe. Full Review

It's a significant letdown that after all Jill's running, and all the guessing Seyfried makes us do, the climactic confrontation plays like an uninspired afterthought. Full Review

Ms. Seyfried belongs to a stable of blank-faced, saucer-eyed beauties whose limited appeal may conquer the small screen but so far has failed to tame the large. Full Review

While Gone has some visual style, the cheap and melodramatic script fails to make it to the party. Full Review

A thriller so fixated on red herrings that viewers may stop caring if anyone's really in danger. Full Review
