It's one of those Hollywood movies that goes in one eye and out the other.

There's not much worse than a thriller that isn't thrilling.

One of the most purely thrilling genre films of recent times, although, in some respects, its end effect is greater than the sum of its parts.

The critics are being way too harsh; the movie was OK, a decent thriller. I'm going to embarass myself a little bit here: 'Gone' having been released in 2012 Amanda Seyfried was about 26. She's so pretty that it's worth watching on that basis alone. Halle Berry (Catwoman) and Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct, Sliver) in their primes were similar in that regard, and there have surely been leading men (Richard Gere, Brad Pitt) in the same camp. It is what it is - they're not movie stars for nothing; sex appeal is a factor and Ms. Seyfried has got it in spades. Oh by the way she's an excellent actress as well.

I wanted to watch it for myself to see if it was really deserving of the bad ratings. I just watched it and I loved it! Best movie ever made? No. But it’s still a really good thriller. Pretty predictable in places as most movies are to those of us who watch a ton of movies. But it had a twist I didn’t see coming and that’s always a pleasant surprise. So if you like thrillers then give it a chance, you might be surprised.

***SPOILERS AHEAD*** This movie put me on the edge of my seat at the end. The main character was very clever, and never gave up. I love how she covered her tracks at the end, claiming it really was all in her head. Trying to find that hole in 5,100 acres of forest land is nearly impossible. I think she should've thrown the gun down the hole, before burning the guy. That way, there is no chance of it being found or identified. The ending didn't go as I had hoped. When the officer received a map of the forest & location of the hole, I was hoping he would throw it away, hiding her secret. The ending suggests she could still get caught somehow, at least in a big lie... at most for murder.

I thought it was a good story. Good acting, and (except for the beginning chi-chat between the sisters) the plot moved crisply.

A very tense and well thought through story with an excellent Amanda Seyfried. There are a few directing goofups, but not too bad, like when she's running away from the cops in the middle of the street when anybody with sense would run close to the bushes. All in all a cool thriller. 7/10
