  Review by Kylo ★★★ 5

  Not a bad Liam Neeson movie starring Gerard Butler. A pretty standard mid-budget thriller. Interesting enough to keep you entertained and engaged.

  Review by Speeg ★½ 9

  I’m still supporting you Redbox. I hope the 80 cents I paid to rent this helps keep the lights on for another month. 

  Someone’s trying to resurrect the gas station kidnapping panic of the mid 90’s. I suppose that’s easier than coming up with an original idea. 

  Gerard Butler looks like he’s been to hell and back, but he’s George Clooney compared to Ethan Embry. What happened to that dude? 
  This features the most lax security detail and safety protocols for a meth lab you could imagine. 

  “Why do you care so much about your wife man?” High quality bad guy dialogue. What, Butler holding a gun doesn’t look serious enough for you? No one ever asks that question of Liam.

  Review by Mister Cap ★★ 6

  ENGLISH below

  Früher sind Schauspieler irgendwann in den Ruhestand gegangen oder haben nur noch Rollen übernommen, die ihrem Alter entsprachen. Seit "Taken" hat sich das geändert, denn gefühlt jeder alte Knacker übernimmt auf seine alten Tage Actionrollen, die in den 80er Jahren von Stallone, Schwarzenegger oder Bruce Willis gespielt wurden. Wobei die eben genannten Pensionisten auch in die Kategorie "Opa auf Actiontrip" fallen, da sie aktuelle ganz dick im Geschäft in dieser Subkategorie sind. Nun hat also auch Gerald Butler das Alter erreicht, in dem er sich in die Rentnergang einreihen kann.

  In "Chase", wie "Last Seen Alive" bei uns heißt, steckt Butlers Figur in einer Ehekrise. Seine Frau Lisa (eine sehr müde Jaimie Alexander) will daraufhin eine Ehepause. Während…

  Review by Jesse Snoddon ★ 6

  Will Spann's (Gerard Butler) marriage is on the rocks. He and his wife Lisa (Jaimie Alexander) have made the decision to take a break. They stop at a gas station on the way to dropping her off at her parent's, where Lisa vanishes, leaving a suspicious looking Will to solve the mystery, track her down and save her before it's too late. 

  At it's best moments, Last Seen Alive reaches the level of mediocre network television. Come to think of it, it mostly feels like an episode of a show drawn out for far too long. The decision to open with a sequence that ruins whatever mystery would have been in the script is a pretty major structural issue. It's as…

  Review by JBird ★★ 3

  Butler's wife was "Last Seen Alive",
  When they were on a long drive.
  Pals of Ethan Embry,
  Aren't too friendly,
  So many of them don't survive.

  Review by Sofa Sinema ★★½

  A broke down retread of Breakdown that could have used a harder edge and a bit more action and genuine suspense. Butler is all in, though. Fans will probably still enjoy his trademark ruggedness even in this more simplistic and smaller budgeted rental fare. 5.5/10

  Review by Jonathan ★★★

  “I’m good with it. Wait… Well… I’m not good with it.”  

  -Will Spann-

  On one side of the coin Last Seen Alive is another paint by the numbers action escapade with Gerard Butler as our leading man. On the other side it’s also another paint by the numbers action escapade with Gerard Butler as our leading man. Needless to say it’s a double edged coin. You know exactly what you’re signing up for. 
  
  Last Seen Alive is a middling action/thriller with a touch more depth than some other Butler films. Sadly it’s not enough to elevate it beyond the genre's retreaded tropes. Butler’s wife goes missing. Butler goes searching. Butler kills some bad guys. Butler saves the day. It’s his…

  Review by Andy Summers 🤠 ★½ 6

  As a fellow Scot, I've always liked Gerard Butler, although his movies have sometimes tested my patience. My wife on the other hand, well she likes Butler a whole lot more than I do, and it all started a few years back when he rocked up to the Men's Wimbledon Tennis Final with his buddy Bradley Cooper, and my wife started goo-gooing and ga-gaing at him in his suit. She can be so shallow sometimes, falling for his good looks, muscles, and Scottish accent, I have all those attributes myself, and I'm here! I digress, I didn't pick this one, this was Mrs. Summers' choice for Friday Evening, and I couldn't really complain with John Wayne Day on the horizon!…

  Review by David James 🍩 ★★ 16

  Gerard Butler continues with the huge Divorced Guy energy in his third movie of the week for us, a methed-out riff on The Vanishing, one of the greatest thrillers of all time - and you bet your ass this wallows in gritty b-movie grist while actively rejecting anything remotely high-minded that might remind us of its inspiration. There's nothing here beyond Butler once again playing a guy trying to simultaneously win his wife back and save her life. While that worked a trick in Greenland, it's a little half-cocked here, both too knotty to really give us full sympathy for the guy (or the disappeared wife!) and too dumbly full of contrived shenanigans to maintain real tension. Why add wrinkles…
