When the British Alex (Shaun Evans) arrives alone in Sydney, he meets the handsome American Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz) that invites him to drink in a bar. On the next morning, Alex awakes completely wasted sleeping with a girl on the floor and Taylor takes a Polaroid picture of them.
Alex is going to Byron to meet his girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner) and Taylor offers a lift to him. Sophie introduces her friend Ingrid (Zoe Tuckwell-Smith) to Taylor and the two couples plan to travel together; however Ingrid does not meet them and Taylor tells that she had decided to travel with a girlfriend instead.
Along the journey, Alex finds that Taylor is a manipulative psychopath that is obsessed with Sophie; however, his girlfriend believes that Alex is jealous without any reason and does not give credit to his words. When they have a car accident in a lonely area, Alex is wounded on the head and Taylor manipulates Sophie and Alex intriguing one against the other. When Sophie receives a text from Alex telling that he is gone, she accepts the ride that Taylor offers to her but she finds the truth about her new friend.
"Gone" is a suspenseful road movie in the outback surprisingly good. The plot is developed in slow-pace, with the gorgeous Amelia Warner becoming the obsession of the deranged and manipulative Taylor. Alex has a skeleton in the closet because of the picture that Taylor is blackmailing him and acts weird with his girlfriend. The story is predictable but also entertaining. My vote is seven.
