Good start, but then it gets ruined

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Amanda Seyfried is waitress Jill who has nightmares of a past abduction. She lives with her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) who is the smart sane sensible one of the two. When Molly goes missing, Jill goes into a frenzy thinking she too has been abducted by the same guy, even though the MO appears to be different.Amanda is a bit flighty when she goes to the police with her 1 hour missing sister story. Because there was no evidence from her last abduction...if fact it was contrary to her story, the police show reluctance to help Amanda, telling her to come back Monday if her sister is still missing. She also has a history of "Crying Wolf." Amanda is convinced it is the same guy who abducted her, and her sister is going to be killed tonight if she doesn't find her and the killer. Officer McKay seems willing to help, but his interest in Amanda comes across as less than professional and is suspect to anyone who watches these films. Molly's boyfriend (Sebastian Stan) has his doubts too and appears less than concerned as suspects mount. To add to that list of suspects there is the creepy neighbor as well as the creepy locksmiths.Armed with information from the creepy neighbor and a .38 Amanda won't sleep until the abductor is found.The ending was fine, but it needed a final Hitchcock twist. Seyfried looked stellar in a sea of prop actors.1 f-bomb, silhouette nudity, no sex

'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.

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

A woman believes that her sister has been kidnapped by the same man that kidnapped her the year before, but she escaped. The story line is great. It's refreshing to watch a movie that is actually suspenseful and has a strong female lead. It kept me guessing throughout the movie over what exactly was going on, or how it was going to end. There are some really creepy characters in this film, and once the The writing was really good. Once the momentum of the story began, it just keeps rolling. The ending was fantastic. I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews for this movie...or maybe I do - heaven forbid a strong female character be the focus of a film where she doesn't need to be rescued.
