'''''Lost''''' is a [[2004]] [[United States|American]] [[Thriller (genre)|thriller]] [[film]] starring [[Dean Cain]]. It was written and directed by first -time filmmaker, [[Darren Lemke]].

After orchestrating a robbery, bank Vice President Jeremy Stanton ([[Dean Cain]]) gets lost driving in the desert, en route to meeting his family with a deadline of eight hours. He listens to tapes by a lifestyle guru (the film is divided into sections titled according to chapters from the guru's best-selling book) and seeks help from a telephone route-finding service, which gives him guidance that does not agree with his map. At first it seems as if he has succeeded in the perfect crime, but things quickly deteriorate -– he is pursued by one of his fellow robbers ([[Danny Trejo]]), a ruthless killer whom he double crossed; his wife begins to doubt the choices they've made; he attempts to turn himself in to a state trooper, who is found dead by his pursuer's hand -– and self-doubt plagues him. The film is almost a solo performance, with few other characters except Stanton and Judy ([[Ashley Scott]]), the woman from the telephone route-finder service, and tension builds in a [[Franz Kafka|Kafka]]-esque style as it becomes clear that things are not what they seem. Ultimately, it is revealed that Judy has been paid by his pursuers to lead him into a trap. He is surrounded and one of his pursuers taps on the window as the movie ends.

''Lost'' received mostly positive reviews. It holds 7.0 out of 10 on [[Metacritic]]. Kevin Thomas of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' said in his review; "Lost is consistently clever, amusing --– and scary."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies|title=Movies|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref> Jon Strickland of ''[[LA Weekly]]'' called the film a "likable thriller (that) shows surprising smarts for a low-budget debut".{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
