Last Seen Alive

Taken, The Vanishing, Frantic and Breakdown are inspirations for Gerard Butler witless underpowered action thriller.

Will Spann (Butler) is a property developer who has hit a rough patch in his marriage with wife Lisa.

While taking to her parents house, he stops at a gas station and she disappears, believed to be abducted while Will was talking to someone on the phone.

The police led by Detective Paterson (Russell Hornsby) is sceptical of Will at first and so are her parents.

Will decides to conduct his own search, his way. One lead is a CCTV image of someone his wife might have been familiar with.

The picture opens with a flashforward that robs the movie of suspense. The movie has too many plot holes and absurd situations.

Butler plays an everyman who has to descend into violence in order to find his wife. It is Hornsby who comes off best.
