Gerard Butler's Action Thriller That's a 'Taken' Replacement Is Leaving Netflix Very Soon

A man and his wife are on a long car trip and stop to get gas, at which point the wife gets out of the car and is never seen again. That’s the setup for Gerard Butler’s action movie Last Seen Alive, which is about to leave Netflix on October 1, and it’s also the setup for the Dutch film The Vanishing, one of the greatest and most horrifying thrillers ever made. There’s no official connection between the two movies beyond that, but there is something cathartic to Last Seen Alive that fans — if you want to be called a “fan” of something so unsettling — of The Vanishing can appreciate, just like how anyone who watches Last Seen Alive might be interested in The Vanishing’s more thoughtful and haunting take on the concept.
