a very average movie
Abandon is a very average movie. It’s nothing that’s going to blow the viewer away, but it’s not a terrible movie either. Katie Holmes does a good job playing Katie Burke a student nearing the end of college, trying to get her thesis done and land a good job. The movie focuses on the investigation by Wade Handler (Bratt) into the disappearance of Katie’s boyfriend two years earlier. Although the film had some good twists and wasn’t really predictable, most of the characters other than Katie Burke came off as kind of flat and boring. Embry Larkin played by Charlie Hunnam as Katie’s ex-boyfriend was made out to be a wonderful, highly talented genius, but he didn’t seem anything special to me. I didn’t think Wade Handler, the police officer investigating the disappearance, came across as an very interesting character either. Overall, I’d say that this is an all right movie, but I’d only watch it if nothing else better was available.

Nice acting, intelligent script, poor plot.
SPOILERS.

Not much in the way of animation here, folks. Nobody grabs up a knife and slaughters anybody else. No screams. Not a drop of blood. It’s moody, atmospheric, and a little dull.

I don’t mind the absence of gore. Actually it comes as a kind of relief after seeing some of the junk now being retailed. What I mean is that it’s possible to make a truly decent scary movie without an excess of makeup. Think “Repulsion” or “Psycho.”

This one depends for its impact on the performances, which are uniformly okay. The Embry character is repulsively handsome. Benjamin Bratt is a most unlikely cop — soft-spoken, polite, reads Camus. Katie Holmes is a puzzle. Yes, she turns in a decent performance but she looks much more like a high-school freshman than a college graduate.

She and Embry are supposed to be irresistible for vastly different reasons but certainly for they share good looks, which prompts me to wonder what constitutes good looks. The Embry character I can’t really speak for, except that he looks like a cross between James Dean and Brad Pitt, and a heavy one to bear. Holmes has a wide forehead, big brown eyes, big ears, plump lips, and a slight figure. She looks about one step away from one of those big-eyed Walter Keane children, with the tear rolling down its cheek.

She’s very attractive — but why? How many millimeters of chin separate her from Zoey Deschanel, the most lively character in the movie? How many degrees of tilt separate their respective noses? The whole subject of beauty is a puzzle because we react dramatically to it every day of our lives — discriminating against the plain in favor of the attractive — but no one seems to recognize that we’re doing it.

Well, never mind. Read my forthcoming book, “I’m Beautiful, You’re Ugly.”

The script is really pretty good. In one scene Bratt, the detective, questions a plump ordinary young woman about the Holmes character. The dialog is nearly perfect. The interrogation reveals her to be admiring of Holmes, but envious too, and slightly nervous. (She twists a string around her fingers and speaks self consciously.) Everyone likes Holmes, says the girl, and they all want to save her because she seems hurt. Her impression is not entirely accurate (Embry dumps her unceremoniously) but true enough for general purposes. Who wouldn’t want to save a hurt child?

One more example of good dialog. The last meeting between Holmes and her psychiatrist. He’s been objective and shrink-like all along, and finally suggests that if she finds it difficult to adjust to her new life after graduation she should feel free to call him. In fact, he might even call HER, and he leans forward, full of extra-therapeutic vibes, and places his hands softly over hers. The light bulb goes on. Holmes tells him sweetly that he’s been such a great help that now she needs to tell him she can get along without him. “Thank you for making it easy,” she adds. (Not bad.)

But, man, is this movie slow. Well — not slow exactly but unfocused. I couldn’t tell where it was headed. I wasn’t expected a plot like an express train but this meanders all over the place. By the last third of the movie I began to suspect what was up with Embry, who is revealed as a stalker. When a threatening figure makes appearances out of shadows when the heroine is all alone — and only then — well, nobody has to draw the experienced viewer a picture.

The climax was, I guess, “confusing” is the word. Katie Holmes has knocked off Embry, who fully deserved knocking off. But what happened to Bratt? And how did Holmes wind up at a high-echelon job in New York, about to repeat her response to any man who rejects her?

Too bad about the plot because the movie has so many virtues. The direction is restrained and effective, the performances fine, the locations nicely chosen — but the story! Like a fully-formed, very attractive human being with no spine.
