MichaelMRamey My girlfriend at the time put this film on and I agreed to it because I like not only Amanda Seyfried but Jennifer Carpenter from her time on Dexter. This movie is entertaining at times, but boring at others. There are really no surprises in this film, you can tell what's going to happen before it happens for the most part and just feels like lazy writing. Nothing against Seyfried in this film, she really tries to sell it, but I'm sure it isn't a film she holds at high regard. It also feels very teen; as in it's a film I'm sure teens enjoy. I gave it a 5 because it wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again.

jtindahouse 'Gone' is my kind of movie. I love a film where you are never entirely sure what is going on. It's a fantastic element for a film to possess, because it keeps the audience involved and interested. 'Gone' is quite a clever story in that sense. In fact it's almost a little too clever for its own good - but we'll get to that a little later. The story revolves around a former kidnap victim whose sister goes missing. We then follow her journey to try and track down the sister's whereabouts. The mystery is both present in the whereabouts of the sister and also whether there is another level to the mystery or not (it has been made clear that she is not entirely right in the mind after the events that happened to her - and even those events actually having happened are under suspicion).Sound like a good set up for a film? It certainly does to me. As I mentioned earlier though the film is a little too clever for its own good. What I meant by that was that the film set itself up for endless possibilities and the chance to have a really clever and mind-blowing ending. Unfortunately though it somehow manages to dodge all that potential and comes up with something extremely bland instead. It sounds like the director wasn't too happy with the studio intervention, and I have to imagine this was the biggest argument they had. A real let down and one of the few flaws I could find with an otherwise excellent film. The pacing is great, the acting is terrific and it's a fun journey. Just try not to let the ending leave too much of a sour taste in your mouth.

Jean Frederick Came in to this not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised.The movie and Amanda do a very good job of making you question everything. From start to finish I was trying to guess who was it or was she insane. To be honest the last shot actually gave me the answer that I was still not sure until then.The sense of urgency is there and it had me engaged from start to finish. It is not perfect and some of the characters are forgettable or should of been taken out because they add noting to the movie. Also "not a spoiler" whether or not she is insane he is very aware that the rest of the world see her has insane. I would of liked to see her play with that a little more than she did.Well filmed, great acting and a good vision executed well. All in all well worth your time. Deserve a much better score than 5.9

warpedmentality00 This is a movie that had a lot of potential. The plot was simple and allowed the director a good amount of freedom to do the film the way that they wanted. Unfortunately, the finished product falls flat on its' face.The movie starts out well enough. It has the main character going through her daily routine while acknowledging her past as a kidnapping victim. But things take a turn around the 15-minute mark when the main character's sister disappears.It doesn't take long for Amanda Seyfried's neurotic and paranoid character to get on your nerves as she seemingly bumps heads with everybody that she encounters. Her character, for some reason, feels the need to make up gigantic lies that constantly change when talking to people.Minor characters pop up and seem to conveniently have information that Seyfried's character needs.The movie slowly builds up to the climax that ends rather abruptly and the ending will have you looking at your fellow movie-watchers and going "Really?"In the end, it's the kind of movie that I'll watch once, put back on my movie shelf and probably never watch again. The movie felt really rushed; like the director was running out of time and just threw some stuff together. I've seen worse but I've also seen much, much better.
