Gone

March 3 2012

I was really ready to see a movie after a week off!!

My opinion:

3.5 out of 5 bags of popcorn for the overall movie

4 out of 5 boxes of milk duds for my personal entertainment

My suggestion: Would be a good rental but if you LOVE Portland it would be good to see in the theatre for the scenery alone

The gist: Jill (Amanda Seyfried) is a young woman living in Portland Oregon with her sister. When her sister disappears mysteriously, Jill is convinced that the kidnapper is the same man who abducted her two years ago. Jill sets out on a race against time to find the killer and rescue her sister before it’s too late.

I was skeptical about this movie, but I ended up loving it. Sure the ending could have been a little better but my heart was literally pounding during the entire movie. She runs into so many creepy characters on her search for the killer that I could hardly keep up. Amanda Seyfried completely carried this movie. She was excellent. There was a small bit part by Jennifer Carpenter (who I love from Dexter) but it was really nothing special.

If you are from Portland you will love this movie even more. I thought they did an excellent job of showing the city off in the movie. It is a beautiful place to live, with quite a few strange characters so that part kind of made senseJ

Overall, this is my kind of movie, very fast paced and a mystery up until the very end.
