Gone (2002)
Pheomenal Rapture film - Gritty, hard-boiled, hard-core film
20 March 2007
The film's become something of a cult classic as almost everyone who is interested in the Book of Revelation has seen 'Gone'.

The film is about 3 lawyers who are left in the Philippines after the Rapture takes place. Together they must escape while getting into deep philosophical discussions on God. Tim Chey did a credible job in bringing the reality of the Rapture and the tension of these 'left behind' lawyers to the big screen. Really enjoyed the dialogue and the intelligent bantering very much.

Its saddening that some people have just voted '1' just to ruin the rating of this film on IMDb. The median average is actually an '8'. I doubt if anyone really believes it is that bad. There are very few films (that I have chosen to watch) I would give ratings below 2. Equally a few people have given it 10 to counteract the 1's sadly they are out numbered. I have rated it 8 as I believe it had its highlights but also a few shortcomings.

The reason people will trash this movie is because it has religious overtones. Well, I guess I should say, it is a religious movie, no overtones about it. If you haven't been paying attention lately, anything that comes out of Hollywood with any kind of a religious message is going to be attacked, no matter the quality of the movie.
