Every Seann William Scott Movie Ranked

Seann William Scott may have made his name in comedies, but his later career has seen him take on more serious dramatic roles, like in this Keanu Reeves-produced 2019 drama. In «Already Gone,» Scott plays Martin, the abusive stepfather of Robinson (Tyler Dean Flores). Tired of living in fear, Robinson runs away with his stepfather’s girlfriend, exotic dancer Keesha (Justine Skye), who had also been subject to Martin’s abuse.

Robinson and Keesha may seem like unlikely companions, but they find in each other the hope of overcoming their shared traumas … or so we might think. The film is pretty bleak — even after it leaves Martin behind to focus on the teen’s burgeoning romance — but it ultimately fails to be interesting enough to leave an impact. Martin remains a looming threat throughout, and his reappearance towards the end of the film provokes an interesting conversation on the codependency of abusive relationships, but the film doesn’t take the time to examine this. While proof that Scott is capable of taking on meatier roles, he isn’t given enough time to cement this, and the result is a film that is as forgettable and fleeting as the title would suggest.
