Tagline: No One Believes Her. Nothing Will Stop Her.
It was only a matter of time before Amanda Seyfried started to regularly snag lead roles in movies. She’s more than held her own in the likes of Red Riding Hood, Chloe, Dear John, Letters to Juliet and In Time, but none had a a plot as disturbing as this one.
Upon returning home from work, Seyfried’s Jill Parrish finds out that her sister, Molly, has been abducted. But this may not be an isolated incident: Jill, you see, managed to escape from a kidnapping of her own just a year before, and is understandably convinced that the same serial killer has come back onto the scene. Sadly for Jill, as the killer hasn’t left a trace, the police don’t have any evidence and can’t help her. Jill is convinced that her sister is done for, so sets out by herself to track down the killer and save her sister.
There isn’t a whole lot in the way of reviews to enlighten you about thus far, save for Matt’s Movie Reviews, which concludes that, “For the material on offer Seyfried does a solid job, yet she doesn’t have that particular kind of talent to rise above the writing. Bad dialogue delivered by a good actor is still bad dialogue, and Gone has more than its share.” In other words, Gone and forgotten.

NewsFeed’s Flicks Pick: There can’t have been a week with a more obvious winner. Not only does Wanderlust seem to check all the right boxes, but also there’s barely anything ressembling a review with our other movies. Why not check out Rudd and Aniston in action before settling down to the Oscars? Hollywood will thank you for your service.
