Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing movie
Review: Such an awsome film! My eyes were glued to the screen.
You watch as Katie, in her last year of collage, is haunted by thoughts of her old boyfriend Embry who dissapered two years ago. When a police man starts Investigating katie starts seeing embry again. He is watching her in class, in the library and theatening her.
This movie will keep you guessing untill the amazing conclusion.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It was reasonably entertianing, but...
Review: ...for a mystery/thriller, there was very little that was mysterious or thrilling. From the first 15 minutes of the film, the end was obvious. Call me crazy, but I like plot twists that I don't see coming a mile away.

But hey, it could have been worse - it could have been Disturbing Behavior.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Could have been much better
Review: Yep, a good acting and a story begining well until you lose the plot and finally understand the illusion things easily. Then the end that messes up the whole plot with an unroginal twist if we can still call that "A twist". A pity! They could have made a very scary movie out from this.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: I never, ever thought I'd say it...but Katie Holmes on screen about 98% of the time just didn't do enough to make this movie worth it. Decent premise, I suppose. Boyfriend missing, recovering alcoholic cop on the verge of a relapse. It just doesn't add up, and there's a supposed "twist" at the end can be guessed as soon as you learn the premise. Coulda been better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not enough story to warrant a feature film
Review: First off, starting with the positives - 'Abandon,' on DVD contains an above average video transfer and a superb, well mixed Dolby 5.1 audio track. The score is moody and foreboding without being too over the top as well. The disc extras are somewhat light with your typical 'making of' featurette and 8 or so deleted scenes that are instantly forgettable.

On the downside the storyline borders on meager. As a psychological crime thriller this film would've been better suited as a 22 minute episode of 'Alfred Hitchcok Presents' rather then the 98 minute feature it was stretched out to be. Couple this with the overall lackluster performances and you're left with a flick you could well do without unless you find yourself nursing a hangover one morning with nothing better to do.
