Gone 2012

Product Details     Jill was abducted and left in a deep hole in the woods, the man came back to kill her but she was prepared and got away.  She reported this to the police but they didn't believe her, they couldn't find the hole in the woods and she was involuntarily placed in a mental hospital.  She has been released and is on medication but she continually goes to the woods to try and locate the hole.  She is filled with anxiety that he will come back since she got away from him and others did not as evidenced by their bones in the hole.  She takes self defense classes and she has a gun.  When she comes home after work, she finds that her sister is gone, she knows that the same man has taken her.  Jill goes immediately to the police but they don't believe her, how can she convince them when they didn't believe her before?  Detective Hood seems to believe her but he may have reasons of his own for helping her?
     I think it was a mistake to keep the viewer in the dark until the last section of this film about whether or not Jill was really abducted the first time and has her sister really been abducted this time?  You don't know if you should take Jill's side or the side of the police who don't believe her and could not find evidence the first time or this time?  Jill has flashbacks but are they real or just in her mind, she is taking medication for something?  2 1/2* (This movie is so-so)
