The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This carefully crafted film kept me awake as I watched it in the wee hours. Each character was skillfully played and kept me guessing as to what they would do next. Unpredictable and dark, I still wonder if Florence wasn't an angel there to take Charlie home. The scenes in the forests were particularly good as the sounds of nature were allowed to take the place of music. I did find the reason to be a bit unclear as to why Defoe's character needed a hit carried out, but maybe I missed something. This movie is well worth your time to view. These actors worked very well together! ... Tried to be honest without ruining the end? Sigh....

(Credit IMDb) Charlie Rankin, recently released from prison, seeks vengeance for his jail-house mentor William "The Buddha" Pettigrew. Along the way, he meets the ethereal, yet streetwise, Florence Jane. They embark on a unlikely road trip, careening towards an unlikely redemption and uncertain resolution.What a mess. I'm not the biggest Stephen Dorff fan, but he is fully capable of being a good actor. He seems to be phoning it in half the time here, and I don't blame him. I didn't really feel any sympathy for his character to be honest. What happened to Michelle Monaghan? She was a top actress at one point, now that seems to be a distant memory. Her character is incredibly flirtatious, but not exactly sexy. Her character becomes overly redundant and unlikable. She had no chemistry with Duff at all. She was also pretentious in the extreme. Willem Dafoe is here for a paycheck, plain and simple. Why on earth would I wanna spend time with these people, let alone feel sorry for them? I was given no reason to. The movie moves along at a snail's pace throughout, providing non-stop doldrums. The title gives away the ending to this movie if you pay enough attention. I did, and I regret it. This was an incredibly awkward and painful experience. It has no thrills, lacks efficient drama, and it's poorly acted as well. If you like watching paint dry, this will be right up your alley. I hated it. These are the types of movies where I wish IMDb allowed a "bomb" ratingDUD

¨You want to tell me what went wrong last night? ¨I think I just found the number 1 contender for worst film of the year, at only 90 minutes long this film is so tedious and pointless that I felt it was never going to end. It tries too hard to be an art house film, but we've seen these character driven neo noir films done much better in the past. I don't even think this film makes sense or tries to deliver any sort of message. You don't even know when the main character is imagining things or living reality; everything is so ambiguous and vague. Tomorrow You're Gone never goes anywhere and it's a shame because Stephen Dorff and Michelle Monaghan are pretty good actors. This is just a waste of their talents and a waste of our time. Director David Jacobson (Down in the Valley) has made one pretentious movie and with the help of screenwriter Matthew F Jones (Deepwater and A Single Shot) he has made one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. I usually take something positive about a film no matter how much I dislike it, but I cannot say anything good about this movie. There is not one single thing that I like about this pretentious thriller. Willem Defoe could be the best thing about this film, but he is in this movie as much as he is in the trailer. This is a complete waste of time so stay away from this film.Charlie Rankin (Stephen Dorff who gave his best performance in 2010 in Somewhere) is getting out of prison after four years, but before he leaves he receives a letter from his mentor in prison, the Buddha (Willem Dafoe), who asks him to kill someone for him. As soon as Charlie gets out of prison he goes looking for this man and receives a special payment from the Buddha. However, something goes wrong with the hit and Charlie can't quite settle his debt with him. Along the way Charlie encounters a mysterious woman named Florence (Michelle Monaghan) who for I don't know what reason sees the good in Charlie and tries to rescue him from his pain. Together they embark on a road trip and half of the time you don't even know what the two are talking about. It's hard to explain the plot of the movie when nothing really makes much sense and most of the things going on seems like they are all imagined by Charlie. There is a thin line between reality and fantasy here, and Charlie has some serious and dark unresolved issues going on. I really hated this movie and I can't say it enough times, stay as far away from this film as possible. http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/

"You have me to get you started out" Charlie Rankin (Dorff) has just got out of prison and stops in to see a man called "The Buddha" (Dafoe) who was writing him in prison. He is told about someone he is to murder for him. When the murder goes wrong Charlie begins to worry about what will happen. Him and a woman named Florence (Monaghan) begin to hang around together and Charlie thinks it will help, but he isn't sure of anything anymore. I have to start by saying that I did enjoy this and I recommend this movie but it is not for everyone. While not a total "art-house" type movie it is in that vein. The movie is more of a character driven type movie then I was expecting, but I really think that helped the movie. Dorff is good in this and Defoe has a strong and powerful presence even though he is only in it a few minutes. This is not really a fast paced movie but it will keep you watching right up until the end. I liked it. Overall, not a movie for everyone but well worth checking out. I say B.
