Review of Gone (2012) by Thedrauch — 03 Nov 2012
A bland, uninspired psychological thriller that has Amanda Seyfried trapped in a role that I consistently couldn't take seriously. Throughout most of 'Gone' I was either distracted by the passing speck of dust, or laughing uproariously at the absurdities of the plot and dialogue.
I was really making my mom mad, who was watching it with me. I don't feel any bit of remorse for that. The only enjoyment I got out of the film was it's ridiculousness. The entire time we have the feeling that Wes Bentley could be the kidnapper, then all of a sudden he disappears from the movie and this new character comes out of thin air to fill the role.
The build-up to the end shows improvement, but once the climax finally comes, it seems too convenient and lame to justify the events that led up to it. Overall, though, I had a good enough time laughing at this movie to say that I didn't completely hate it, though, I certainly didn't like it for the reason intended.
