Critic Reviews
Sometimes, typecasting works: Holmes and Bratt settle comfortably into their roles, and the movie proves a competently made, mildly diverting collegiate thriller -- at least until its all-too-predictable ''twist'' ending.
Read the full reviewA moody, effective thriller for about 80 percent of the way, and then our hands close on air. If you walk out before the ending, you'll think it's better than it is.
Read the full reviewA disjointed movie with uneven acting and too many scenes that defy belief.
Read the full reviewA thriller wrapped in heavy-duty gauze to muffle the chills.
Read the full reviewGaghan shows promise as a director, but Abandon leaves a lot of room for improvement.
Read the full reviewAbandon is this CLOSE to being good, juicy, bad-movie fun.
Read the full reviewHolmes, of Dawson's Creek, will be up the creek if she can't avoid movies like this. And so will you if you see it.
Read the full reviewWith the flat characters and lifeless performances, it's a wonder that anyone in the audience can stay awake all the way through this dull and dreary production.
Read the full reviewCrossing "A Beautiful Mind" with "Sex Kittens Go to College," first-time director Stephen Gaghan (he wrote Traffic) causes a head-on collision.
Read the full reviewPassably interesting psychological study of emotionally wounded characters until it commits dramatic suicide by showing its true colors as a tricked-up "Fatal Attraction" wannabe.
Read the full reviewA trite psychological thriller -- all buildup and no payoff, a mystery that essentially offers only two alternative solutions, which diminishes the element of surprise and strings the viewer along way past caring which possibility proves to be true.
