Absolutely amazing

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

My girlfriend at the time put this film on and I agreed to it because I like not only Amanda Seyfried but Jennifer Carpenter from her time on Dexter. This movie is entertaining at times, but boring at others. There are really no surprises in this film, you can tell what's going to happen before it happens for the most part and just feels like lazy writing. Nothing against Seyfried in this film, she really tries to sell it, but I'm sure it isn't a film she holds at high regard. It also feels very teen; as in it's a film I'm sure teens enjoy. I gave it a 5 because it wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but I definitely wouldn't watch it again.

This was a rare occasion where I thought the movie completely lived up to the excitement viewed in the trailer. I enjoyed seeing Seyfried in this role of a strong, determined woman. Seeing her in various movies, I've noticed how expressive her eyes are with any emotion and her style seems very natural.

It's like a young woman version of The Fugitive where the heroin must dig deep to find the courage and resourcefulness to face adversity and danger, save herself and solve a crime while running from the law.I found the acting a little blend but the actors easy on the eyes and certainly cared for the struggling heroin to succeed by the end. The pacing and tension seemed balanced to me with the action not overly violent or gratuitous.The picture was very clear; streamed online in high definition resolution. Overall, not great or inspiring but not a bad way to be entertained.

Average. That's how I see most films these days - Hollywood churning out more of the same - the same sort of horror films, the same sort of comedies, the same sort of superhero movies. Some are good and stick in your mind, others just fall into that big put of car crashes and shoot-outs somewhere in the back of your mind as they merge together.'Gone' is average. There is little special here - a girl, who might or might not have been kidnapped and escaped from a serial killer, loses her sister and is convinced the killer has come back for her. Is she mad, or telling the truth? However, despite an overall 'seen-it-all-before' feel to its synopsis, Gone isn't actually that bad.It had a certain something that, although it's only an average movie, at least managed to hold my attention for the ninety minutes. It had a good story. The characters weren't totally stupid and kept running back into burning houses and stuff. Then it was all nicely wrapped up at the end.You may have watched a million similar movies, but, if you think you might like the sound of this one, give it a go - you might be right (plus, Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Carpenter are in it - so maybe it's just one for the lads).http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
