Serviceable if not forgettable, Gone is one of those movies that's not bad enough to hate nor good enough to praise. It falls in that sour spot where it's got sparks here and there only to be quashed by rediculous plot points and character actions. While Amanda Seyfried wasn't too bad and probably did her best with what she had, the rest of the cast was pretty much a waste mainly due to cardboard cutout characters including an inept and dumbass police force who haven't got a clue. The plot itself is also pretty safe void of any surprises or thrills (or sex for that matter) that it could are basically uncut (save for a couple curses) on TNT or TBS.

That said, it's a breezy suspense-thriller that's certainly not going to highlight any part of your brain but for 90-minutes, it's an OK way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Seyfried at least makes it watchable even when the plot goes off the rails.

It's a film that is suspenseful enough but then suffers from an abrupt ending.  If they would have spent another 10 minutes on the film it could have been pretty good.  As it stands, it's a decent film but not a good one.  Seyfried is terrific in it, as she usually is but the script let her down.

 

Still, I enjoyed it, it just needed a bit more at the end.
