Show more >> Last Seen Alive tries to grip you with its intense premise but struggles to maintain the momentum throughout. The film, starring Gerard Butler, kicks off with promise as it follows Will Spann's frantic search for his missing wife. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes a bit of a mixed bag. While the initial tension is palpable, the plot soon veers into familiar territory, making it predictable at times. Butler gives a solid performance, yet the character development feels lacking, leaving viewers wanting more depth. The direction by Brian Goodman has its moments, but the pacing falters, leading to a somewhat unsatisfying conclusion. Fans of the genre might find moments to appreciate, but overall, Last Seen Alive falls short of delivering a truly captivating experience. Show less
