Route sans issue

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.

As one of the four hundred people lucky enough to be present at the premier of this movie, I can honestly say it was one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen in years. This is a breakout performance for Dean Cain who, up to this point, has had to struggle to overcome the typecasting that comes with portraying a superhero (Lois and Clark, The New Adventures of Superman, 1993-97).

Lost is, as a previous review stated, PHONE BOOTH in a car. Cain fans will be pleased to know that 99% of the movie is All-Dean, All the Time. The range of emotion the actor shows is phenomenal and adds fantastic characterization to what could easily gone the other way and been boring if not done correctly. Writer Lemke has done a great job of keeping us on the edge of our seats. If there were anything bad to be said about the movie, it might have been that it started a bit slowly. However, that's been corrected and the first five minutes retooled. When this film reaches theaters, it will be worthy of recognition in the award department.

While traveling from Green Lawn, California, to meet his wife and son in Red Ridge, Nevada, the driver Jeremy Stanton (Dean Cain) gets lost in a secondary road through the desert following an old edition of the Road-Aid Travel Guide maps. He calls the Road-Aid operator Judy (Ashley Scott), who tries to give directions to her client. Meanwhile, the police is chasing the criminals that have committed a bank heist in California. When Jeremy's Mercedes Benz runs out gas, he finds an isolated gas station in the middle of nowhere that operates with cash-only. When Jeremy opens the truck of his car, he opens a bag full of money, disclosing the reason of his road-trip.

"Lost" is probably the lowest-budget movie I have ever seen. The story hooks the attention of the viewer until the very last scene, is flawed and predictable. First, it is annoying to see Jeremy Stanton wearing necktie in a totally stressed situation through the heat of the desert. How can a man feel relaxed wearing necklace? Second it was quite obvious how Archer was tracking him. Last but not the least, why exchange his brand-new car for an old truck in a desert road without any other vehicle? My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Lost – Sem Saída" ("Lost – Without Exit")

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

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Some of the dialog was a bit contrived, but so what? It was still a wild ride with unexpected moments thrown in throughout. I thought Dean Cain did a good job.

This movie is like a poor man's Duel (which I consider a compliment.) Duel, I believe was Steven Spielberg's directorial debut as this is for Darren Lempke. He has real talent. He is very good at building up suspense. I also liked the way it ended -- it wasn't a cop-out. It had good camera work and everything made sense at the end, which often does not in these types of movies. It was a fun way to spend 90 minutes. P.S. I don't have a clue as to why a reviewer thought this movie was a sci-fi picture. It bears absolutely no resemblance to one.
