Gone (2012)

The love is Gone

I love movies that have appropriate titles! "Incredibles" was incredible. "Fantastic Mr. Fox" was fantastic. "Gone" will be just that in a couple of weeks. This flaccid thriller couldn't hold my attention for any reason. The writing was clumsy, the acting was far from good (from a stellar cast at that), and the cinematography was questionable (did the whole movie have to be blue?). I also spent the whole film wondering why Amanda Seyfried can't find a movie worth her considerable talents. She was great in "Mean Girls" and on HBO's "Big Love", why does she kept ending up in movies like this?
