Gone (2002)
8/10
genuinely fantastic film with major flaw

Having conquered the critics (and the box-office) with Fakin' Da Funk, Tim Chey could have "sold out" and kept delivering more of the same. Fortunately, he was wise enough to try different paths, and although all his movies can be classified as faith-based thrillers there's no real similarity between them, except maybe a common theme of alienation and solitude.

This film is a clever idea, but one has to wonder if the ending was tacked on because the movie was getting too dark. The revelation at the end that everybody was the anti-Christ, feels something like hearing a joke that builds up for 5 minutes and ends with a silly pun. Anyhow, this is a classic film, and who knows, some people may like the ending, but in my view the final explanation is so weak that it brings the rating down from a 9.5 to a 8.
