- TriviaGerard Butler posted on his Instagram page on October 5, 2022: "I'll let you in on a little secret. I took this movie on as a fun challenge/experiment. I improvised the whole movie. I was only ever shown the first ten pages and even they were thrown away once we were on set. We shot the movie in 8 days. I was drawn to the idea of how it would feel stepping into scene after scene having no idea what was gonna be thrown at me. I've never taken on anything like that and it was both challenging and exhilarating. You can't help but be in the moment.
Obviously there were certain parts where I would have to be guided in a general direction but mostly it was flying by the seat of my pants. Amazing work by the rest of the cast having to play off me given I had no idea what was about to come out of my mouth. And to our director Brian Goodman-love you brother."
- GoofsAt the end of the movie at the parents house you can see the camera man crew in the reflection of the window. You can clearly see how the cameraman rushes off not to be seen.

Featured review
entertaining mystery thriller that remains somewhat predictable thanks to the lesser writing.
Last Seen Alive is a new mystery thriller directed by Brian Goodman, director of Black Butterfly and What Doesn't Kill You. The film is about Will Spann (Gerard Butler), who travels with his wife Lisa (Jamie Alexander) to his in-laws. Their relationship is on the rocks and they try to work on it before they get divorced.
When the two stop at a gas station along the way, Lisa suddenly gets lost. Will enlists the help of the police and informs Lisa of what happened to her parents. Because Will thinks the police is taking too long, he decides to investigate himself. Thanks to his rebellious actions during his own investigation, Will is increasingly appearing as a suspect to the police and Lisa's parents. To prove his innocence, he must find Lisa before he ends up in jail himself. With this film they try to make an entertaining mystery thriller as a kind of mix between the films Taken and Gone Girl. This film unfortunately has a lesser level thanks to the story of the film. The story was written by Marc Frydman and this is only his second writing work for a film. This is unfortunately reflected in the quality of the story in certain situations in the film. The film starts with a prologue that already gives the viewer too much information, so that you can quickly get ahead of the story and the mysterious sides are somewhat lost. Because of the script, the main character sometimes comes across as a bit stupid because of separate impatient decisions he makes, which only get him into more trouble. With a better scripted script, the movie could have been more entertaining. The visual effects are decent in the movie. Most of the blood from wounds comes across as believable, but with larger effects such as explosions it is clearly visible that these have been placed in the film with CGI. Because of this lower quality you are sometimes taken out of the film. Gerard Butler knows how to deliver good acting as the lead role of the film, but thanks to the script he sometimes comes across as a bit too exaggerated. Because she disappears early in the film, Jamie Alexander has little time to work with me in the film. Russell Hornsby also comes across as a standard cop trying to help Will find his wife, but Will's rebellious sides sometimes make them work against each other.
