Not the best but not the worst...
I think most of the existing reviews have great points and agree with them. The movie is actually enjoyable and worth watching. I've seen way worse and at least this movie was entertaining and kept me interested throughout.
Here are the highlights:
PROS:
- Amanda Seyfried does a splendid job with her character/Jill.
- Nice to see the girl from TV Show Dexter in this movie.
- Suspenseful moments.
- Good pace.
CONS:
- The ending is lackluster. It could've been more of a production in the end. Not so easily tied up considering the beginning/middle of the story were more complex and interesting.
- The casting seemed a little strange to me.
- Irrelevant and undeveloped characters. Is it just me but did anyone understand the purpose of the detective Peter Hood? Also, the serial killer character is seriously underdeveloped.
All in all, I think this movie is worth renting/watching, and I would it recommend to...
"SUSPENSEFUL AND CHILLING MOMENTS!"
Jill still has terrifying nightmares about her past, claiming that she was abducted, managing to escape the horror. However, her nightmares persist and she becomes frantic when her sister is missing. Jill files a Missing report with the Police, but no evidence was ever found on her own abduction. Therefore, the police do not find it as serious as Jill does. Furthermore, the suspects that were investigated also take it lightly. Amanda Seyfried plays the hysterical-frightened to death woman who suffers the anticipation of not knowing whether or not Molly is still alive, while reliving her past abduction. Her acting performance is excellent as the viewer endures chilling moments that become intense. Highly recommended for mystery and thriller lovers, who enjoy suspenseful stories. Regardless of how the viewer expects the movie to end, the story is captivating and the main character is not only clever, but has you biting your nails through some scenes.
ADULTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISAPPEAR
Amanda Seyfried is waitress Jill who has nightmares of a past abduction. She lives with her sister Molly (Emily Wickersham) who is the smart sane sensible one of the two. When Molly goes missing, Jill goes into a frenzy thinking she too has been abducted by the same guy, even though the MO appears to be different.
Amanda is a bit flighty when she goes to the police with her 1 hour missing sister story. Because there was no evidence from her last abduction...if fact it was contrary to her story, the police show reluctance to help Amanda, telling her to come back Monday if her sister is still missing. She also has a history of "Crying Wolf." Amanda is convinced it is the same guy who abducted her, and her sister is going to be killed tonight if she doesn't find her and the killer. Officer McKay seems willing to help, but his interest in Amanda comes across as less than professional and is suspect to anyone who watches these films. Molly's boyfriend (Sebastian Stan) has his...
