    Where's the thrill in this supposed thriller? The movie dangles the premise that Seyfried may really have been hallucinating when she claimed that she had been abducted, but then, it interjects scenes of her in the hole in the ground. So when her sister disappears and she goes on... read more her wild chase and brandishing her pistol, we know that she'll finally get to meet her abductor. Her martial arts training is similar to that experienced by Rachel MacAdams in 'Red Eye', whose character toughens up after she, too, was assaulted in the past. Both characters then get to exhibit their prowess at the end of their flicks. Seyfried disposing of her pistol after knocking off the killer also doesn't seem right. She should know that someone could stumble on it and discover that her fingerpints are all over it. Also, I presume that she's the one who mails the pictures of the victims to the lieutenant. Isn't this silly? I'm sure the cops would suspect her of killing the killer. Seyfried spends a lot of her time running all over town in the flick, but then, she runs us aground, like the Costa Concordia cruise ship off Italy.

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

    Watchable but features one of the worst final third's I've ever seen from a thriller. 6/10

    I had this on as background noise and it still managed to bore me to tears.

    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.

    Definitely not one of Seyfried's best that's for sure. A bit of a silly convoluted plot, but sometimes that's OK, in this example it does not really work. About the only positive thing about this film is the gorgeous Wes Bentley. Definitely below average.

    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?

    Good idea, good potential, poor execution and a sub-par script. The scriptwriter said that she had no idea what she was writing when she started and only had the image of a girl stuck in a hole in her mind. The half-hearted effort shines through.

    Film is pretty good up until the last 20 minutes or so... its as if they ran out of ideas and decided to just finish it without being as exciting as it had been up until then. Shame, it would have got more stars with a decent end. Still, not a bad film.
