Katy Holmes (DAWSON'S CREEK), who I think will always look like she's thirteen-years-old, is a college student whose rich, narcissistic boyfriend had mysteriously disappeared a year before. The boyfriend's Estate wants him declared dead rather than missing. A police detective starts investigating the case and finds himself becoming romantically involved with Holmes. He's going through some serious problems of his own, primarily being an addictive personality, and ends up quitting the police force because he realizes he doesn't want to do that work anymore. Yet, what he ultimately finds out about the disappearance-and how his new girlfriend fits into the scenario-- is disturbing.ABANDON is one of those movies which thinks it's clever but is extremely predictable from the start. Also, Holmes doesn't have the 'hmph!' to carry a movie on her own and you quickly get tired of her character. The worst part of all is that this is basically a slasher movie in which there's no slashing!
