kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Using a cell phone as a prop like a phone booth was used it the movie "Phonebooth" two years earlier but without the same success the film "Lost" has bank vice president Jeremy Stanton, Dean Cain,mastermind the ripping off his bank, Fidelity Savings, and making off with some six million dollars in cold cash. What happens alter is too nuts to figure out with one of his co-bank robbers Ed Archer, Danny Trejo, a full blooded Cherokee Indian stalking him throughout the entire film for reasons never fully explained in the script.What's so unusual about the movie is Stanton's cell-phone that never runs out of power and can seem to pick up phone signals anywhere on earth even in the wide open and empty spaces of the Nevada Desert! During Stanton's entire time on the run, that last more then 12 hours,in the movie and being on his cell-phone non-stop he never charged the phone up once with its reception as strong at the end as it was in the beginning of the movie! ***SPOILERS*** There's also the strong and silent, and somewhat lobotomized, type state trooper, Paul Green, who's constantly chasing Stanton's car who seems to be obsessed in keeping America, or it's roads & highways, beautiful who ends up , for what seems to be no reason at all, killed by the criminally psychotic Archer. The person who guides Stanton's through this mess is telephone operator Judy, Ashley Scott,who for some strange reason takes an interest in him, maybe it was his sexy voice, and the situation he finds himself in. It's at the very end of the movie we, as well as Stanton, find out just what that reason really is. And it isn't love or phone talk at first sight either!

tjpmkp I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Some of the dialog was a bit contrived, but so what? It was still a wild ride with unexpected moments thrown in throughout. I thought Dean Cain did a good job.This movie is like a poor man's Duel (which I consider a compliment.) Duel, I believe was Steven Spielberg's directorial debut as this is for Darren Lempke. He has real talent. He is very good at building up suspense. I also liked the way it ended -- it wasn't a cop-out. It had good camera work and everything made sense at the end, which often does not in these types of movies. It was a fun way to spend 90 minutes. P.S. I don't have a clue as to why a reviewer thought this movie was a sci-fi picture. It bears absolutely no resemblance to one.

MrsClarenceWorley This film is a low budget wonder! It may not have had the budget to pursue its potential 100% but it is fantastic and definitely better than most large studio productions."Lost" is a film spawned from the fundamental and most crucial aspects of film-making: good acting and good writing. Most big-budget Hollywood films rely heavily upon the star system (the popularity and "pull-power" of its cast)and upon multi-million dollar advertising campaigns. "Lost" relies on neither of these superficial aspects, and is a far better film for it. Using but a select few actors, the film carries a story that is both entertaining and enthralling. The end was an unexpected surprise and the movie, in its entirety, introduced and explored several moral themes which provided a lot of food for thought. The main character, played by Dean Cain, was the type of person that we could all relate to and his actions in the film were VERY pertinent to anyone and everyone watching the film. All of these factors made the film quite enjoyable.Like I said in the very beginning, the one and ONLY aspect lacking in this film was a larger budget. But regardless of that detail, the film's impressive script and great acting performances made it thoroughly entertaining!

diddlysquat This movie has almost made me lose faith in film entirely. Did someone actually think it was a good idea to make it? What small, pathetic scraps of a plot line that this film actually contained were overwhelmed by about 60 minutes of nothing.Yes.Nothing. That is what this movie is. I was even naiive enough to hold out hope that Lost would perhaps redeem itself with some amazing ending... Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed. This from someone who is VERY open-minded about all forms of art. Sometimes, movies just should not be seen. This is one of those times.(However if you do have too much time on your hands and want to see an impressively boring movie... Lost is just the ticket
