Dirigida por Stephen Gaghan, guionista de trabajos más eficientes como Traffic y Rules of Engagement, Abandon tiene toda la manufactura de una teleserie de horario nocturno, a medio camino entre el thriller juvenil y el suspenso policiaco. Sin embargo, no logra profundizar por ninguno de estos dos caminos, y desarrollar más su muy débil trama, preocupándose Gaghan, más que nada, en hacer un retrato del universitario estadounidense que titubea entre seguir divirtiéndose o enfrentar el mundo laboral.
El desarrollo de la investigación, complaciente y que avanza como maquinita de reloj, hacen ver el trabajo del agente Handler como el sueño de todo policía: cumplir la última misión con toda eficacia, para retirarse al merecido descanso sin mirar atrás. Si no se le consigue creer mucho a Benjamin Bratt en su "doloroso" drama de alcohólico, mucho menos a sus pesquisas, puestas como en ?charola de plata?.
Por otro lado, el montaje es lamentable, de un inestable ritmo narrativo. Incluso el final se siente como una repentina inspiración argumental. Abandon se salva, si acaso, por algunas secuencias aceptables, como aquel baile de los alumnos embriagados en una cancha de fútbol, con un buen tratamiento visual del cinefotógrafo Matthew Libatique. Tal vez el asunto hubiera funcionado mejor de haberse ido el relato más por esa faceta oculta de Katie.
El problema es que nunca resulta creíble esa extraña condición mental de Katie. Con ese rostro de ?niña buena?. ¡Por favor

MCT:February 17, 2008Katie Holmes playing a scholarly naive college student named Katie??? It made me roll my eyes. Then you throw in Benjamin Bratt from Law and Order playing a detective-this movie is so dull and predictable and after about 20 minutes in, I was wondering how long they were going to stretch this out for.

MCT:January 29, 2008Charlie Hunnam looks so handsome! it's a great movie though. man, all the suspense makes you wonder if that could happen to you

Not a bad suspense thriller but not a good one either. It wasn`t amazing or new or unpredictable or shocking or creepy or bad or anything really.. Just.. oK fine. I only watched it because Benjamin Bratt is a police officer. Again.

I bought this without seeing it cuz I don't have many movies like this - it was pretty good, but I think i need to watch it again when I'm paying more attention to catch everything...
-
MCT:October 28, 2007I guess I hoped for more from this movie.
I found it to be boring, with only a few twists at psychological points.
Holmes was boring & played her normal female role as the provoking beautiful girl. Thank goodness for Bratt & Hunnam for a little bit of eye candy.
I did like the idea of the storyline, but felt it feel short. I thought Holmes was a realistic female as to, wanting what you can't have.... She ran from those who loved her & became crazy for those who knew how she really is. Really makes girls look crazy.
Pass unless you are desperate, or you like one or more of the characters. -

This movie just proves all women are crazy, so don't fuck with them, and don't break up with them, and most of all if you say you are going to take them on a trip, just do it.
-
MCT:August 13, 2007I think it's good if you don't expect too much...It's nt going to be a blockbuster but the twist and turns in the movie aren't too bad.

MCT:June 7, 2007I bought it because I was going through my hot British boy phase and I don't know why I ever did something so stupid.

MCT:May 30, 2007I really love psychological thrillers and this is one of my faves. Katie Holmes plays a good victim. Benjamin Bratt always plays a good detective/cop. Though it is a bit slow I think its becasuse there is so much to consider. Catherine's background, the emotional baggage, her current relationships, all of it leads to the surprise ending. Check it out.

I loved Katie in this movie at first you thought she was so innocent but then you found out toward the end she was so eeerie and dark!!!!!

Kind of like a sister movie to The Glass House, in that it's a thriller that doesn't do much thrilling...or much of anything, really. Abandon's a pretty simple movie. Where it has a good main character in Katie Holmes and a tight grasp on tone (both of which The Glass House lacked), it also is infuriatingly predictable and implausible. I had the big twist figured out in the first 40 minutes.
The movie tries to justify what happens with really cheap dime-store psychology, but I'm not buying it. It's at least subtle about the roots of its plot, but you'd have to suspend a hell of a lot of disbelief to meet the movie where it stands. To be honest, I wouldn't really recommend this, even though the first half hour is really good. It just doesn't have what it takes to capitalize on the strengths of that first act; the movie doesn't "springboard" into action right. A lot of the times we see things that don't help at all. If we learned more about the characters, and if certain completely unnecessary subplots were written out, Abandon would have a great deal more potential. It's really too bad that this is even a thriller.
I think the movie is most effective in teaching us that intellectuals are irredeemable assholes. Don't be friends with people like Embry. They're much happier with themselves. -
MCT:April 3, 2007This is a movie made for me, this is what a thriller is supposed to look like: An innocent girl, a cool cop and a hot mysterious stalker. Charlie Hunnam has never looked more hotter than in this movie along side with Katie Holmes, I just love the twisted ending!

The only real reason to see this movie is because of katie holmes. other than that the movie kind of sucked.

Great movie!! It's a shame it wasn't a hit in the box because it deserved to be. Benjamin Bratt and Katie Holmes are great. Charlie Hunnam cute as usual!

This movie was completely misleading in the trailers and wasn't I good as I was hoping it would be. Plus I'm not much for Katie Holmes.
