Verdict on Last Seen Alive
Last Seen Alive is an action thriller following a husband searching for answers about his missing wife. However, not everything is as it seems for him, as he finds himself in the middle of a bigger crime underworld.
This is a strange thriller because it falls into a position where it gives away something big in the opening sequence. However, it also makes it too big to be the final outcome of everything. There is a big mystery, but it just doesn’t seem to give us enough to keep us guessing. While the story tries its hardest to make both sides look suspicious about everything going on. Gerard Butler continues to make these fun action movies that have a darker edge to them. although, this won’t go down as one of his better ones.
Final Thoughts –Last Seen Alive is a great late-night action movie.
