In the end, the script lets the film down with its obvious twists, its naggingly illogical narrative and a general pointlessness.

A final reel of arterial spray splatter empties itself in record time and when Gone finally gets going, it’s gone too soon.

You may be able to work out where it’s going, but it’s an enjoyable ride nonetheless.

You will be kept waiting for the twist that never comes in Ringan Ledwidge's derivative psycho-thriller, whose by-the-numbers plotting is as inevitable as roadkill.

A potentially menacing first half is let down by a few cliches in the home stretch.

Debut feature for tv commercials director Ringan Ledwidge shows he has an innate sense of cinema, and handles the genre well and the outback looks gritty but great

Solid direction and well shot visuals cannot overcome the inherent problems from the mixed performances, thin script, off-putting characterizations, and languished pacing

First-time director Ringan Ledwidge conjures up an effectively creepy mood to accompany three young backpackers on an ill-fated road trip across the Aussie desert.
