Gone (2012)

All Critics (65) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (55) | DVD (2)

Everything about 'Gone' has the plasticy, leatherette feel of an imitation thriller.

Gifted and sincere as she always is, there's not much Ms. Seyfried can do with this tripe.

Top Critic

It's a significant letdown that after all Jill's running, and all the guessing Seyfried makes us do, the climactic confrontation plays like an uninspired afterthought.

Top Critic

A movie that makes "Murder on the Orient Express" feel like"The Silence of the Lambs"by comparison.

No money should ever change hands in any Gone-related interaction, unless it is because you are buying matches and gasoline to set all the copies of it on fire.

Siblings aren't the only things missing from Gone: Suspense, scares and common sense are all likewise MIA.

Unbelievably lazy.

Daily Star

By the end of Gone you'll be convinced that it's just a low-rent reworking of The Silence of the Lambs, with Seyfried's humongous peepers a sad substitute for Jodie Foster's acting chops.

With 'friends' like this movie, the feminist cause doesn't need enemies... [E]ven if Jill isn't crazy... she's still crazy, because she does not behave like a sane person.

It's all very well giving Amanda the power to vicariously avenge sex attacks, but it doesn't do much for gender relations.

Seyfried shows she's not the kind of actress who would be an easy victim in a Scream movie.

It's one of those Hollywood movies that goes in one eye and out the other.

This is London

It's daffy, but it works.

Mike McCahill

Guardian [UK]

Despite Seyfried's suitably wide-eyed performance, director Heitor Dhalia holds too loose a grip on the suspense, driving the film into a succession of dramatic dead ends.

Just very silly.

Birmingham Post

Another squandering of Amanda Seyfried's talent, this low-mileage thriller won't be remembered for long.

Gone and soon forgotten.

Adam Woodward

Little White Lies

The shortfall of suspense is emphasised with every pointless car chase, head-slapping contrivance, and attempt at tongue-in-cheekiness. This movie can seriously damage your IQ.

Elliott Noble

Sky Movies

Seyfried does yeoman's work here -- but she has been in her share of clunkers and deserves better material.

Bruce Bennett

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

A psychological thriller lacking in both psychological complexity and thrills.

April 2, 2012 Full Review

Simon Weaving

Screenwize

There's nothing in the film - which lacks urgency - or Seyfried's eyes or physical demeanor that suggests panic, fear, desperation.

A frequently disastrous piece of work...
