Gone

What it's about:

Jill Parrish comes home from working the night shift to discover that her sister Molly has suddenly disappeared. Convinced that Molly has been abducted by the same serial killer from whom Jill escaped just a year before, and that, by sundown, Molly will be dead, Jill embarks on a break-neck ride to rescue her.

Racing the sinking sun in a heart-pounding chase, Jill has only twelve hours to find the killer and save her sister.
 
What the critics thought:

"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


"Nearly a year has passed since the release of Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood, and Amanda Seyfried is still crying wolf."
- R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine   


"While Gone has some visual style, the cheap and melodramatic script fails to make it to the party."
- Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
