2/5 rating is generous. Amazon ratings are inflated. This movie had potential but seemed to fizzle. The ending of the movie was cool though and if you must watch, use the 120X fast forward to make sure you watch the ending.

This movie is incorrectly listed as being UR (unrated). I received this in the mail today, and it says clearly on the back cover that it is rated R for language. Needless to say, I'm dissappointed, because this looks like a good movie as far as suspense goes. Unfortunately I have young children in the house, and cannot have this kind of movie with that kind of language in it. Amazon.com has it incorrectly listed also as being Unrated, and I have contacted them. Blockbuster.com gives the correct rating for this movie, which is R. Which I'd known that sooner.

"LOST is most noteable for an outstanding unexpectedly so performance from Dean Cain. While Cain has had some good roles in movies like MAN ON FIRE and BEST MEN, nothing has challenged him as much as this role. He plays Jeremy, a young executive who has just pulled off a major heist (6 million), and finds himself lost somewhere in Nevada, being followed by the robbers he betrayed and his only ally a voice from the Road Map customer service department. Cain pretty much has a solo act in this unusual thriller, well written and directed. He displays a range of emotion he has rarely had to call on before, and he pulls through with a stunning performance. Credit also to Danny Trejo, who we only hear as well as Ashley Scott, who is Judy, the voice on the other end of the line. Tense and disturbing, with much religious allegory and symbolism, LOST is a film that deserves a bigger audience."

"Dean Cain is America's most overlooked actor. He is terrific in this suspensful, somewhat ironic thriller. In the vein of Breakdown and Duel, this thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't say it enough, Dean Cain did one hell of a job!"
Great flick

"I originally read about this movie in an issue of Fangoria magazine, which led me to believe that it was a horror film. We picked it up and watched it and my first reaction was this is a crappy horror film, but man what an awesome action/drama! After I saw the movie I reread the article in Fangoria and the author conceded that this movie was not a horror film (this totally slipped by me when I read it the first time), but was a film worthy of viewing by anyone who liked good films. The author is right. Dean Cain, usually associated with the Lois and Clark series, is better known to me through the horror films he's done like Boa and Dragon Fighter, and him hosting the Ripley's Believe It or Not series. I'm not a big fan of his work, but always thought he was a descent enough actor. He's excellent in this film. There is not one point that I didn't believe him as this character. He does an absolutely incredible job of making us believe him. The supporting cast is brilliant with Danny Trejo as the menace on the road and Ashley Scott comes off as the perfect 'voice on the phone' that's easy to listen too and easy to believe. The story is well thought out and it's an absolute blast to watch a bad situation goes from bad, to worse, and finally totally disintegrates right in front of him. I'm not familiar with anything that Darren Lemke's done in the past, but if this is any indication of what is coming in the future, then I'm in for the ride of my life."
Nothing to be lost about...

"I ordered this movie just for watching the trailer and i might say that it matched and overwhelmed my expectations!
The story is thrilling and it's very well achieved as a film because it lives on only one character for about 90% of the time. A compelling journey that keeps throwing you bits and pieces of what might have happened but never what is going to happen. That's why if you miss the final 3 minutes you miss the whole clímax!
As for Dean Cain, he really absorbs the character and has that X factor which drives the audience to twist in the chair when the thrilling scenes happen.
I'm not gonna tell anything more because it's the kind of movie you really have to watch to understand. It can have many lessons or it may just work has 2 hours of entertainement, either way it blows us away!
Pity this kind of movies don't get the mainstream...it sure would beat some of those big BLOCKBUSTERS."
