Review of Abandoned (2010) by Michael T — 31 Aug 2010

An pretty simple but suspenseful thriller that to me is very similar to Flightplan but set in a hostpital. It had an very hitchcock like vibe to it as the innocent Mary Walsh who is played by the lovely Brittany Murphy what is tragically her last role is accused of being crazy when she reports that her boyfriend of 4 years is missing from the hostpital and finds out that they have no record of him being there.

This was a pretty basic movie when it came to action and it was almost borderline lifetime movie of the week to me but it was very watchable and kind of kept me on the edge of my seat guessing why this was all happening to her and the twist which I kind of saw coming from a mile away was pretty messed up but still pretty standard though.

The acting was mostly on the weaker side but Brittany Murphy's performances always has this charm to them but you can sadly tell that her state of health wasn't good in this movie and it looked like they tried to hide it by putting alot of makeup on her but her hair looked greasy and crusty it was tragic to see.

Overall it wasn't the best movie ever and I've seen it done better before but if you like Brittany Murphy you should check it out because she pretty much saves the movie from completly sucking but don't expect anything out of the ordinary.

More of a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
