I won't say which, borders on the element of believable but still kept my interest.The story is about David and his search to find his missing girlfriend Claire. What begins as a run of the mill girl-gone-missing story, turns into a thrilling mystery pretty quickly and David soon begins a deeper journey into finding out just what happened to the love of his life. There is plenty of action to keep most guys interested, whereas the relationship expressed in flashbacks, mostly to keep any girl interested. It keeps an even pace of action/flashbacks to unfold a journey of one man's quest for the truth.It raises questions of "What causes a woman, without any problems or fights, to disappear without a single trace initially . How well do we really know the person we share a bed with every night?" I've rated plenty of movies before, but again, my first review so I hope I captured a spoiler free look. I would've gladly paid to have seen it in theaters as someone who makes 2 trips a week to the local theater .

emotional since.Without spoiling anything as I truly believe that this movie is nothing like most in its genre and hope that you give it a chance, the insidious way it succumbs you to replay the events that took place including the flash backs which provide tiny yet crucial pieces of information that explain the dynamics between this starstruck couple from the first scene causes everything to slowly and almost weightlessly settle into place; leaving you feeling quite forlorn and overwhelmed by the journey of emotions experienced by this "Romeo & Juliet" couple.As much as I initially felt and honestly still do after watching this movie that there were lots of questions that viewers were compelled to raise about Claire's past that remain unanswered and this would almost ALWAYS frustrate me with other movies, it really didn't matter.I do not feel like I NEEDED tohave the answers. Why? Well, for starters the acting by all of the cast was amazing with Anabelle Willis giving a performance that equalled her being Grace in Peaky Blinders , with all actors showing you how the job is done properly, with little effort in being so convincing. You always know when an actor is phenomenal when they continue acting despite the camera not being focused on them/ All of Anabelle's tiny gestures, body language and subtle hints that she was hiding things from the guy whose heart belonged to her were what perfected her already flawless performance. She is one of the best and natural born actresses I have seen.No, it's not as action packed and CGI crammed as other popular movies; the violence is as graphic as it needs to be, the script is marvellous and the dynamic between the cast doesn't feel false.But this movie succeeds in sneakily drawing you in, hook line and sinker.It doesn't need to try too hard to achieve the desired impact on the viewer and it is most certainly a prime example of less being more.Its ending stabs you in the heart with the stealth and severity of a murderous shadow holding a Valyrian steel knife, killing you softly.A standing ovation to the Director, Cast and all who were involved in making this movie. This is a piece of art to be proud of.

film, if you want to look beyond simple entertainment value, you need to look for "influences." And this one is clear. Except for the last 2 minutes, this effort is the closest thing I have seen to an Alfred Hitchcock "Jimmy Stewart" story in over a half century.Hitch understood completely - a lesson lost on most modern auteurs, young Whedon notwithstanding -- that the essence of suspense is to layer over it a romantic entanglement so as to get double the kick from the very same arc. All his films were structured this way.It is a trick that very few have tried to imitate in this era but it works here, and works brilliantly. By the time the viewer realizes this is not a rom-com or relationship movie, this something else entirely, the trap is already baited and the hook is set.Add to that some odd tricks with time juxtaposition most of which work well, but not all of them and you have a very engaging thriller.Recommended.

planned plan you went south was great! The ending was fantastic reminded me of Butch and Cassidy. Great Movie!

so believable when we need it. Duration of film is approx two hours long but you won't notice. Because the directing and editing is clean, simple and fluent. Should be rated between 6.5 - 7.0

himself though Hell to find an answer when something happens to Claire. I was equally impressed with how Whedon took David from a Naif out of his element to a little more savvy the deeper he dug, trying to find information along the way on his quasi-detective journey. Nice acting from everyone involved. You will probably recognize a few actors you've seen before in film and television.True love WILL make you do the wacky. I really enjoyed this film.

started slow, had a few nice touches but it stayed slow, sometimes painfully so, without getting far. I see people gushing over the Whedon clan but what was young Zach thinking when he put that one layer too many of suspense? I must be the only one who did not get the entire picture, like what was Claire's deal? What happened to the millionaire guy? What was the deal with the Russians besides causing some stereotypical bad guy stuff? Why was the detective so insignificant in the story. Who were the guys and the one with bullets in leg and what was their deal with the Govt. Suspense is great, and suspenseful it was to the end. I am still in suspense. What were everyone fighting over? What about the Black guy? And would Aaron Paul finally learn how to use a gun besides having it wrested away from him at half an opportunity? So many questions. So few answered. Was that the idea? Hope no one is thinking of a sequel, or a franchise. Disappearing girlfriends gone bad is not a new concept. 'Gone Girl' aced the idea, but Gillian Flynn is a superior story teller and this dude is not. Still, the acting is good. Aaron Paul gets a 8/10 although it is hard to see him as someone relying on basic hardware store stuff like a hammer when Breaking Bad looms large in his face. The woman playing Claire, pleasing to the eyes in a understated way but this won't get her name recognition any higher. She came as a nobody and left as one although the acting was decent. In the end, it is as pleasing as a bottle of cheap Bourbon..numbs you, in a pleasant way but does not give you the enjoyment. In the film's defense, nothing was promised, so it did not fail. But shame for not taking it to a notch higher where it could easily been were the film-maker for a moment thought that idiot is not the new smart. Overall, deeply disappointing although I gave it a 8/10, but mostly for Aaron Paul and the fluid camera work. I mean, seriously, what was the deal with the dead banker guy and his terminally constipated widow?
