The Factory (2012)

An obsessed cop is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. but when his teenage daughter disappears, he drops any professional restraint to get the killer.

Cliche-ridden crime thriller with an unsatisfying twist ending; John Cusack's over-the-top performance as the obsessed cop doesn't help, either.

Gone (2012)

 

 

A woman is convinced her kidnapper has returned when her sister goes missing.

 

Despite a not so very original plot this movie successfully manages to push the right buttons and is highly suspenseful.

Maltin**1/2: "Although this is genre-thriller material, Seyfried's strong portrayal of a woman trying to unlock the truth and move on from her past keeps it going. A couple of nice twists and an exciting finale this a satisfying, if forgettable, kidnap drama."
