Last Seen Alive (2022)

Everyone needs to pay their bills, I get that. However this would've been a straight to VHS flick even in the 90's. Why do these bigger stars sign on to these?

I'm just a bit sad to see so many of these aging actors that I've truly enjoyed on the big screen now do stuff that basically could've been an above average high school project.

Fmovies: The message of the movie is: beautiful women are hard to understand at times.

The story is not spectacular, but it totally gets the job done to generate nonstop tension. There is not a single boring minute in that movie.

Good actors, and screenplay. All in all a very entertaining thriller.

OMG!!! The writers of this movie must have failed script writing class badly! The dialogues are terrible! Some of the stuff the actors are saying either makes no sense and/or are cringy as hell! I get that compared to the normal movies that Gerald Butler usually did, this is pretty low-budget but holy hell, the script for this is so bad! This is especially apparent with Jamie's character's parents, the dialogues that came out from the mouth of those two are so stupid and on top of that, neither one can act to save their lives!!! My god, did Gerald needed a paycheck that bad?

Last Seen Alive fmovies. I love these movies that Gerard Butler makes now. I'm never gonna complain about him running around kicking butt and being the hero of the piece.

I loved the pacing in this one. After all the excessively long movies being released lately it was nice to see a 90 minute movie at the cinema. It felt like it just flew by. Plenty of action and tension which meant it never dragged or had any unnecessary scenes.

The sound and score were also fantastic. It's worth seeing at the movies just for that.

I just really like movies that know their movies, and Last Seen Alive definitely fits into that category.

It's an easy, enjoyable watch which does exactly what a movie is supposed to do: it entertains.

Gerard Butler is quite good. His real accent slips out and it makes him more real. He's also not mr super warrior which is unusual and pleasant. Jaimie Alexander is hardly in the film and that's ok because the character is tiresome. The detective is well played but the rest of the supporting cast are really just there.

Cinematography is ok. It drags at the start and so feels much longer than it actually is which is not a good thing. My biggest frustration is the colour work which is very greenish and flat. Personally I find it off putting.

I would have liked it more with different LUTS and more of Butler's actual accent.

Ok so this is obviously a total ripoff of the superlative film The Vanishing (1993) with Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock which is one of my all time favourite thrillers so this is obviously never going to compete.

The story is very basic and I was hoping for a true to life ending but no they had to go and give us the usual Hollywood ending instead of brutal reality.

The film is mainly carried on the shoulders of Gerard Butler and the excellent Russell Hornsby as without them it would have just fallen into the category of a Lifetime Wet Sunday afternoon movie. Even so it is as basic as a plot can get but with good acting and some decent direction it lifts it above your usual mundane thriller so gets an above average 6/10.
