Catherine Burke (Katie Holmes) steht unter gewaltigem Druck. Kurz vor dem Examen muss sie ihre Doktorarbeit fertigstellen, als der Polizist Wade Handler (Benjamin Bratt) Ermittlungen in dem Fall von Catherines Freund Embry Langan (Charlie Hunnam) anstellt, der vor zwei Jahren verschwunden ist… (Verleiher-Text)

An hour and a half of complete nonsense, which in the last five minutes tries to transform into a somewhat bearable movie. The last-minute effort logically falls short, but at the same time prevents me from dragging "Abandoned" to the lowest rating. Nevertheless, the screenplay contains lots of flashbacks that either don't make sense or are thrown together haphazardly, illogical characters, and pointless scenes featuring Katie Holmes constantly changing outfits, which made me wonder why she committed to this project. With a barely functioning point, this mysterious attempt was doomed to fail from the beginning.

It is a genre mix, from thriller to melodrama to crime, but with the problem that it’s a little bit of everything, and nothing proper. The screenplay has a few interesting ideas, the camera has a few interesting shots, and even the directing is not completely bad, but it doesn’t reach average.
