Lost - Sem Saída

Slick and smarmy Jeremy Stanton (Dean Cain) is lost in the Mojave desert, surrounded by foreign wilderness and clueless as to where he is. Things are made steadily worse when the mysterious Archer (Danny Trejo) starts hunting Jeremy down. What does Archer want, and why is he chasing Jeremy?

A very solid, mysterious and engaging thriller from first-time director Darren Lemke. Direction is dead-on and the audience is consistently interested in Jeremy Stanton's plight. Writing is exceptional and photography is the same.

Lost almost being a one-man show, Dean Cain leads the film with ease. We slowly like him as he grows more and more desperate to survive. Trejo only appears fully at the end, but his presence is felt. The rest of the cast is just as good.

A solid indie thriller that I really recommend.

Sometimes I really feel sorry for Dean Cain. A very talented actor that was horribly typecast due to his role on the TV show "Lois and Clark". This movie is a perfect example.

'Lost' is an excellent thriller and definitely worth a watch to any fan of the genre. It will keep you guessing till the very end! Dean Cain shines in this movie and does a great job. Not wanting to give away any plot points, the film centers around Dean's character Jeremy Stanton for the entire film as he is lost trying to find his way home.

This straight to DVD release is worth a rent in my opinion.

9/10

all in all it was a pretty good flick,but a few questions need to be addressed;first off he was driving a brand new something perhaps a BMW i dunno couldn't really tell, but he did run low on fuel and had to stop and fill up,but later when he was driving the 1980,81 ford f-150 p.u. gas was no longer an issue.(i drove one of those gas hogs for years),and his ran pretty damn good for $500; 2.if archer was such a good Apache tracker why couldn't he see the rush cover-up job that Stanton did with his tire tracks in the sand when he hid behind the billboard? i mean the apache man did see a cigarette butt on the highway while doing 70!; 3. how in the hell did archer figure out he was using g.p.s. and Judy at that? but in the end i thought she was working with the feds and was leading him into a trap for a reward.

Prolific B-actor Dean Cain drives around, some unseen guy wants to kill him, and before you know it eighty minutes have passed. The plot outline doesn't really leave open many options, which is why the writing is that ingenious. This is a really difficult movie to turn of, mostly because of the smart plot developments and the (despite his actions) very sympathetic hero. It also has a general uncomforting style which always implies something bad is going to happen, it just doesn't tell you what exactly. The movie without a doubt benefits from its short running time, because just when it starts to drag, we really get this killer of an ending. I knew they wouldn't be playing it straight-forward, but this is really a good surprise ending. There's nothing bad I can say about this charming little movie.

This is a nice little movie. It's nothing too fancy or big but just provide some good decent 90 minutes to enjoy.

It's a good written story. They used all of the script its potential and it provides the movie with a couple of nice and original moments, despite its unoriginal and restrained concept, budget and settings. You can also really thank the director for that, who brings everything very stylish to the screen.

Still the story has some lesser and more silly parts. Such as the way the main character is leaving a trail is unbelievable. Hard to imaging that anyone could be really that dumb and obvious in a situation like that.

It's unfortunately also a movie that begins very well and has a good middle but toward the ending it starts to loose some of its power and creativity, when the story starts to loose more and more of its credibility. A shame really.

The acting is good surprisingly and it definitely uplifts the movie and makes it feel more professional than its budget would allow it to be. Dean Cain plays a good main character and he gives away a nice performance. And hey, it also has Danny Trejo in it as the main villain. We don't too often get to see him as such but his role is also more limited down as you would perhaps expect.

Still a movie well worth seeing.

6/10
