Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Tom Russo, Boston Globe: 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. Read more

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times: Ms. Seyfried belongs to a stable of blank-faced, saucer-eyed beauties whose limited appeal may conquer the small screen but so far has failed to tame the large. Read more

Matt Singer, Time Out: Siblings aren't the only things missing from Gone: Suspense, scares and common sense are all likewise MIA. Read more

Tasha Robinson, AV Club: It's never fully convincing in the way it lays out a bread-crumb trail for its suffering protagonist to follow to the truth. But it does find a little new life in a familiar formula. Read more

Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly: Which stinks worse? The absurdly large pile of red herrings Gone amasses? Or the film's sub-Scooby Doo conclusion? Read more

Eric D. Snider, Film.com: 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. Read more

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter: A thriller so fixated on red herrings that viewers may stop caring if anyone's really in danger. Read more

Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times: A movie that makes "Murder on the Orient Express" feel like"The Silence of the Lambs"by comparison. Read more

Rex Reed, New York Observer: Gifted and sincere as she always is, there's not much Ms. Seyfried can do with this tripe. Read more

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: It lies there flapping like a dying fish. Skip it. Read more

Cath Clarke, Time Out: Everything about 'Gone' has the plasticy, leatherette feel of an imitation thriller. Read more

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

Dennis Harvey, Variety: A low-pulse thriller that evaporates from memory with the last credit. Read more
