This is probably one of the most disturbing thrillers I have ever seen [ and my movie collection has over 1,500 titles in it ]… No, it is not more bloody than Saw… If that's what you're looking for, then keep looking. I don't want to say much in order not to ruin the experience for anybody but if you have loved ones that you would to anything to find if they disappeared, then this movie will stay in your memory forever. Great cast, amazing story, slow start for the first 20 minutes but a mind-bending finale !!! Oh and definitely not for the kids although not for the reasons that you might suspect or expect. You'll see...

This is a very messed up story about a husband who loses his wife at a rest stop! The story unfolds of a father who saves one of his children who calls him a hero. He thinks that the only way he can live up to that billing is by finding his dark side. Meanwhile, Sutherland's character of the husband grieving for his lost wife, is trying desperately and in vain, to locate her. He finally gives up and starts dating again, only to come face to face with the whoefully misguided Jeff Bridges to complete the vicious cycle. Well worth the time the viewer invests getting there. Get it !

I bought this used, which I never do. But the price was great, and they offer a guarantee. So I figured what can I lose. It arrived before the scheduled date, and played perfectly. They're were only a few scratches, but didn't affect the overall quality. I'll definitely order again from this seller.

4.0 out of 5 stars This movie doesn't vanish
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2004

Well, what can I say? Other than I was deeply impressed with how a film can create so much suspense with hardly any action or nail biting scenes. The only other film that can create such a docile form of suspense is Hitchcock's "Rear Window." The suspense of this film is brilliantly done, because as we follow the main character, we are asking the same questions he is and we never lose interest.
Dianne (Bullock) mysteriously vanishes while her boyfriend Jeff (Sutherland) is waiting for her outside some gas joint. When she doesn't show, he calls the police and goes through the typical missing person's routine of anxiety. We feel for Jeff instantly because the panic in both his expressions and performance are real. He's scared, worried, and with good reason.
Well, things begin to look up temporarily for Jeff when he meets Rita, who becomes his new girlfriend despite being unable to find Dianne. But hold on, Jeff still loves Dianne, and wants to still find her even though he is just beginning a new life with Rita. This emotionally tears at Jeff and he finds himself torn between a woman who he loved that is gone and a woman who he is loving and is there.
Now bring in the kidnapper Barney (Bridges), who kidnapped Bullock as an experiment and without malice. Barney is the most well done character in this film, because he we don't hate him, not initially, even though what he is planning to do and does is wrong. We like him but we don't. He seems harmless but what did he do to Dianne?
This movie is one of those that tears at you. You're torn along with Jeff over Dianne or Rita. You're torn on the character of Barney: just eccentric or flat out evil? You're torn on Jeff's biggest decisions. This is a highly entertaining movie because you love the suspense these divisions create. You want to find out what happened to Dianne and what Barney is really all about.
Now, the bad news. I gave this film four stars for two distinct reasons. The first is because I never did fully grasp why Barney wanted to kidnap someone. Although I praise his character, the one flaw in it is motive. He wants to kidnap as a form of experiment, but surely there must be something else, something deeper. The movie tries to explain his deep down reasons to why he does what he does but it is muddled and difficult to fully understand why. I guess one could rest at ease by just labeling him a typical looney.
The second problem I have with this movie is that I think it's a one time watch. Meaning, you'll see it the first time, think it's great, but then never watch it again. It's because this movie survives by portraying the unknown. You don't know anymore than Jeff does about what happened to Dianne, so you watch in eager anticipation. But once you know what happened, is it ever even remotely as entertaining to see it again? Sure, you can say this about any movie. The difference is that this movie's only and biggest draw is, again, the unknown.
So I do recommend this movie, to those of you who like psychological thrillers, and love movies that keep you wide awake with subtle suspense and tremendous believability in both plot and acting. But beware, it may not be the kind of film you'll want to see again and again. Because this movie never vanishes from your memory.

This movie is very good. I saw it on tv years ago. Its about a man that decide to murder someone. because he wants to know what it feels like. He picks this girl that has this boyfriend. The boyfriend can do nothing, but think of what happened to her. He does everything that he can to find her, but its his present girlfriend that stops him from becoming the second victim. A great movie.

I always loved this movie, I just wish it was available on Blu-ray though! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good suspense, the story is very interesting and it will keep you on the edge of your seat all along, the ending is also very satisfying. The only negative point about this dvd is the fact that it doesn’t include the uncensored ending, so you should definitely get the unrated version if you can, the ending alone is worth it! I may be a bit biased when it comes to this movie since I’ve always loved watching it, but I really doubt that anyone would find this movie boring or bad, it’s truly a very good movie!

Ob dieser Film vielen Leuten bekannt ist weis ich nicht. Doch bei mir gehört er zu den Lieblingsfilmen auf jeden Fall dazu. Ein super spielender Jeff Bridges, ein nicht aufgeben wollender Kiefer Sutherland - einfach grandios !!!
Auch die Atmosphäre, wird seine Freundin nun gefunden oder bringt er den Entführer noch zuvor um ist einfach mitreißend, spannend aufgebaut. Will man mal richtig mitleiden bei einem Film ist dieser hier absolut zu empfehlen !!! Bin froh, dass ich ihn nun in meiner Sammlung habe
