Review of Lost

Lost (I) (2004)
10/10
Lost is Anything But ...
6 January 2005
As one of the four hundred people lucky enough to be present at the premier of this movie, I can honestly say it was one of the best psychological thrillers I've seen in years. This is a breakout performance for Dean Cain who, up to this point, has had to struggle to overcome the typecasting that comes with portraying a superhero (Lois and Clark, The New Adventures of Superman, 1993-97).

Lost is, as a previous review stated, PHONE BOOTH in a car. Cain fans will be pleased to know that 99% of the movie is All-Dean, All the Time. The range of emotion the actor shows is phenomenal and adds fantastic characterization to what could easily gone the other way and been boring if not done correctly. Writer Lemke has done a great job of keeping us on the edge of our seats. If there were anything bad to be said about the movie, it might have been that it started a bit slowly. However, that's been corrected and the first five minutes retooled. When this film reaches theaters, it will be worthy of recognition in the award department.
