Abandon Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
A psychological thriller that doesn't thrill much and whose ending we can guess halfway through; but if you're a lover of smart dialogue and intelligent characters, you won't be disappointed.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Some movies are exercises in escapism, and this movie is no more and no less than that.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
One sloughs one's way through the mire of this alleged psychological thriller in search of purpose or even a plot.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
It's a bad sign in a thriller when you instantly know whodunit.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie finally did not satisfy me, and so I cannot recommend it, but there is a lot to praise, beginning with Katie Holmes' performance.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It can't make up its mind whether it's a serious drama, a swoony romance, or a psychological thriller.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
It really is almost impressive how bad this is.
New York Post
Megan Turner
Gaghan ... has thrown every suspenseful clich in the book at this nonsensical story.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Holmes, best known for the TV teen drama Dawson's Creek, flounders in the role like a child in her father's overcoat.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
Meandering and glacially paced, and often just plain dull.
Village Voice
Ed Park
Hardly a nuanced portrait of a young woman's breakdown, the film nevertheless works up a few scares.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's light on the chills and heavy on the atmospheric weirdness, and there are moments of jaw-droppingly odd behavior -- yet I found it weirdly appealing.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Pic's structure and last-minute disclosures entirely betray any personal investment the viewer has made in this low-key yarn, which will cause audiences to feel ambushed and sullied at fadeout.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
... expands the horizons of boredom to the point of collapse, turning into a black hole of dullness, from which no interesting concept can escape.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A highly schizophrenic movie that clearly wants to explore the lives of university students under stress their senior year but is forced to do so within a thriller format that requires spooky moments and malevolent ghosts.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
One of the most incoherent features in recent memory.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bill Wyman
Challenging, intermittently engrossing and unflaggingly creative. But it's too long and too convoluted and it ends in a muddle.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
[The title's] unintentional effect is to presage the sense of torment the viewer experiences as he or she is buried deep inside the movie's unrewarding ramblings.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
There's so little going on in the film that its title seems to suggest an action that audiences may be driven to take before the movie ends.
