- 65MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekSeyfried has spent too much time lately in vehicles that aren't worthy of her, "Red Riding Hood" being the most egregious example. Gone at least takes her seriously – except when, to delicious effect, it doesn't.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisEntertainment WeeklyClark CollisWhich stinks worse? The absurdly large pile of red herrings Gone amasses? Or the film's sub-Scooby Doo conclusion?
- 40VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyA low-pulse thriller that evaporates from memory with the last credit.
- Gone starts off as a character study about a woman struggling to regain control of her world in the wake of a horribly intrusive event, but that sort of thing doesn't make for a fun night at the movies, so it quickly concedes to a Hitchcockian "wrong woman" riff, in which sexually motivated abduction serves as the worst MacGuffin in movie history.
- 38Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversThere's no thrill in Gone because you can see every surprise coming. It lies there flapping like a dying fish. Skip it.
- 38Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundSlant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundNearly a year has passed since the release of Catherine Hardwicke's Red Riding Hood, and Amanda Seyfried is still crying wolf.
- A thriller so fixated on red herrings that viewers may stop caring if anyone's really in danger, Gone is diverting but unlikely to linger long in theaters.
- 30The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSeriously depleting the skanky-villain bin at central casting, the moronic thriller Gone stars Amanda Seyfried as Jill.
