First of all, the title misled me. I expected this film to be about a missing person. Having seen it I now suspect the story was more about a missing movie-goer in Boise. A young woman with a shady past who is trying to get her life together inadvertently witnesses a murder and the murderers are aware that she saw it. They spend the rest of the movie trying to kill her.
I usually realize I'm in trouble when a movie has an entire cast I've never seen before, although occasionally I am happily surprised. Not this time. The male stars were not too bad but the two female leads, Hallie Shepherd and Alexis Monnie, were simply terrible. I've seen better acting in a middle school drama club.
Aside from the bad acting, "Last Seen in Idaho" contained far too much violence for me. A little smidgen of violence with a strong plot and lots of suspense goes a lot further than overkill. Non-stop shoot-em-up and blow-it-up scenes leave me cold and extremely depressed. This was certainly not my kind of film. Next time I'll watch Miss Marple.
