    B-level Butler. Last seen as....
    This is not a bad movie. It is just too familiar. Run-of the-mill. As many have said, it treads the same or similar territory as several better films in the sub-genre. The Vanishing, Breakdown, or even another Gerard Butler film that I found a more intriguing watch.

    I won't shy people away from seeing this film. One could do worse. Instead, to see Gerard Butler in a less derivative movie, watch 2007's Shattered, also starring Pierce Brosnan and Maria Bello. It has a kidnapping, more vibrant cinematography, a nuanced score, and a compelling screenplay that is not so blatant about lifting from other films. Plus a twist ending. See Shattered 2007 instead.

    Dependable Gerard...
    A "thinking man's thriller" this ain't, but it IS enjoyable and does pretty much what it says on the tin, as the saying goes.

    Nobody really does 'driven' quite like Gerard Butler at the moment, and this might just be him at his most intense in a while as the husband who's hit a rough patch with his wife - played by Jaimie Alexander - before she mysteriously vanishes. Ethan Embry (formerly Ethan Randall. IYKYK) is surprisingly believable as the methed-up Knuckles who was the last man to see her alive, and the rest of the cast, thought mostly forgettable in a "who WAS that?" kind of way, are decent enough.

    Of course, Gerard Butler is the star and it's fun to watch him do what he does best, even when his character makes a (scripted, obviously) mistake or two. This movie may not stand out from his filmography much, but that's not really a problem since his filmography is still far better than others who have walked this same path. Yes, there are points where it could have been better, but it also could have been a LOT worse.
