Review of Lost

Lost (I) (2004)
5/10
No big loss if you haven't seen it

Lost (2004) had the misfortune of being named the exact same thing as one of the most popular TV-series of all times that started the same year and most likely got lost (pardon the pun) in all the commotion over THAT 'Lost'.

Not that they by any means are anything similar beyond the title.

No, if I was to compare it with something it would probably be 'LOCKE (2013)' (which funnily enough is one of the more popular characters names in the series, but that's beyond the point lol).

Anyway so yeah the reason I compare those is because more-part of the duration is the main character by himself in a car (mostly inside or always very close to it) and also taking a bunch of calls.

But where as 'LOCKE (2013)' had Tom Hardy to mantle a one man show, 'LOST (2004)' has Dean Cain.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Dean Cain a lot (he's my favorite Superman in fact) but he's no Tom Hardy and can't quite carry the movie all by himself on his back (extremely few people could, so again this is nothing too negative towards him).

Also the plot is way too predictable.

It's not a awful movie and kudos on trying something different but it just doesn't quite work as the suspenseful thriller it's supposed to be.

If you're curious about Danny Trejo's involvement, he is 'in it' quite a bit BUT mainly as one of the voices Dean Cain talks to on a mobilephone.
