Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews The Vanishing, the 2019 mystery/drama movie, directed by Kristoffer Nyholm & starring Gerard Butler.

Three lighthouse keepers on the remote Flannan Isles find a hidden trunk of gold, leading to their mysterious disappearance..
Pretty inviting premise for a thriller movie based on a real event, right?

But does it satisfy as both a movie AND a theory on the actual mystery? Is Gerard Butler capable of giving a nuanced performace anymore? Is the film slow? Is it violent? Is it pretentious?

Most importantly, did the ending deliver?
