Gerald Butler ventures into Liam Neeson territory by starring in, voila, a 'kidnapping movie' - a career decision Liam Neeson made during the twilight of his career - a smart career move I might say, as Neeson starred in several glossy and quite exciting 'kidnapping' movies including the very successful 'Taken' franchise.
However, 'Last Seen Alive' is no Taken. Far from it. I have seen many bad movies, but this movie takes the cake this year as the worst I have ever seen. There seems to be no inspiration or spark in any of the actors' performances - it is as if they just want to get their paychecks and finish their embarrassing scenes.
The movie has the standard kidnapping plot and I am no writer but many questions immediately come to my mind as the movie unraveled. However, it is not worth discussing it here as the movie is devoid of any inspiration or thrill or suspense. The cinematography is amateurish, even the explosion in the end looks like it was done by college kids experimenting on their school project.
The movie is currently the top movie here in the Philippines which I think was mainly due to the star power of Gerald Butler. Otherwise, I suggest you give this movie a pass. There should be other interesting ways to spend your leisure time.
