I agree with A.Murphy, it is hard to find films with suspense throughout so it was a real surprise to find this film to be full of suspense and second guessing. I didn't expect much but the film delivered, with good acting, interesting characters, no cliches and a genuinely good twist.
I recommend this to anyone who likes a suspense thriller about a serial killer without the usual modern day blood and guts.

Its hard to find films these days that will keep you guessing and interested throughout. This one does. I rarely give more than 3 stars to a film these days so youi can see I waas gripped. Amanda Seyfried as the lead actress keeps us mystified to the end in a great piece of acting. Lots of good characters and edge of the seat drama.

I cannot understand why this movie is getting such bad reviews. The movie is well paced, keeps you guessing until the very end and boasts an excellent performance from Amanda Seyfried. Like a lot of Hollywood thrillers it is not 100% realistic but it is very entertaining from start to finish. I would recommend this film to anyone so please watch it and make up your own mind.

In a welcome departure from the fluff pieces she's more associated with, Amanda Seyfried carries the substantial weight of this movie on her slender shoulders. When her sister goes missing in circumstances similar to her own abduction years earlier, Jill (Seyfried) is more determined than ever to find the culprit and prove to disbelieving cops that she isn't insane. The pacing is fine but I found the substance lacking in terms of overt villiany. I echo other reviewers in that there's a fair bit of suspence on offer but the real thrills are under wraps until the final moments. I don't know if its the script or the acting but some male cast members are poor so pressure rests solely on Amanda Seyfried's head and although she pulls it off, even she wavers at times; her initial exchange with a group of obtuse police officers needed a steady directorial hand and a decent script re-write, sadly, they weren't available. The screenplay does a fairly good job of making every male cast member look and behave like a serial killer and it's nice to see Michael Pare amongst them. The Portland exterior has a starring role and glimpses of fine cinematography serve to instill a sense of isolation amongst the overbearing forest and cityscape. Overall this is an ok time waster and a lukewarm addition to the thriller genre which covers similar themes to the far superior Kiss The Girls [1998] [DVD]

I enjoyed the plot line and the suspense of the film. They did well with throwing me off who the 'dark' one in the movie was, but the end just seemed to be rushed and a little less of the suspense that had been building throughout the film. I think a better twist could've been used. But it was still a really enjoyable film.

I was a great movie! I was a little disappointed by the ending but overall this was a very good film...I love my films and buy many each month and this is one of my favourites. I recommend this film if you like psychological thrillers!

Amanda Seyfried stars as a young woman, Jill, who was abducted and traumatised and no one believes her, especially the police. She is involuntarily institutionalised while she recovers from her crazy 'delusions' about escaping after being imprisoned down a deep hole in a forest, with human bones buried beneath her feet. Now released and living with her sister, when her sister goes missing, Jill is convinced that the man is back and that he is responsible for her sister's disappearance. But, the police don't want to listen, again, so Jill goes hunting for him herself - a man with no name, and a man she cannot identify.
This movie has had mixed reviews on the net and quite a few people have scorned it because, I suppose, there are times when the plot is a bit incredulous but it's entertaining and what do we need from movies? Entertainment!
I enjoyed it and even though I thought it got a bit over-the-top towards the end with Jill going into 'the' forest at night alone, it still had a satisfying ending I thought. More than satisfying. Loved it.
I thought I sussed out the real whodunnit but, nope.
Why not check out the official trailer on YouTube where you will be better able to decide what you think?

Format:DVD
"Gone" is a rather flat and unconvincing film about a young woman whose sister apparently gets kidnapped from the house that they share together one night. When she tells the police about her disappearance , she is not believed on account of her having told the police that she was abducted and imprisoned herself a year earlier which she was unable to prove.She subsequently was committed to a mental institution and considered crazy. With the police unwilling to investigate the disappearance of her sister , Jill, played by Amanda Seyfried, goes on a one woman detective mission across Portland , Oregon, trying to find out the identity of the abductor and track down her sister. The police are only interested in her stopping her chase and catching her. Can Jill find proof to back up her claims ? "Gone" isn't particularly well acted and the dialogue is poor. It was hard to empathise with Jill who spent the film lying to all and sundry in her quest and there was little suspense or excitement. The police seemed disinterested and bored with the film and the whole film seemed a bit half hearted , predictable and distinctly forgettable.

Rubbish
Preposterous far fetched rubbish. Amanda seyfried acted well but that's the only plus of this film. Don't bother to buy it.
