Lost

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.

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

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.

Although Dean Cain was not among the candidates for the lead, he is the perfect lead for the role! His performance is multi-layered and intense.

The villain, played by a favorite villain actor, is well written and well acted. The premise of the movie does keep you guessing, and the surprise ending is, well, a surprise.

Refreshing, considering the studio product these days. No market research garbage here! (Sorry, suits!)

The director takes some chances that really pay off, and for an indie, it comes across very well done and satisfying!

The movie is, overall, quite well made for a first-time director. See it if you can!

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.
