Abandon (2002)
5/10
HArd to follow
13 September 2019
Usually I like detective stories. But this story was hard to follow . The crime under investigation was never revealed. The ideas presented were vague without a motivation or purpose. The actors were good. The conclusion was nebulous and I felt lost mostly.

Well acted but story sucks
31 March 2019
The script doesn't make sense to me. Kilmer rides on a lake with a boy who reads poetry? What's in his little bag he carries around? Hard to follow.

Stereotypical white privilege
25 May 2018
The story is fairly stereotypical. Elements include a rebellious teenager , an overworking father, and mentally unbalanced mother, who was a beauty queen in college! The acting is very good, but the story is contrived.

Absentia (2017–2020)
10/10
great writing
4 April 2018
Great wrting. The story was very plausible and contained enough details to make this series binge worthy for holding my keen interest. The story laid out without any pretense of predictability. If you like a good thriller, give this series a go.

Freaky Bear Hunts Humans
4 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The large grizzly bear was a terrific actor with super large teeth. The main actors were credible. The supporting actors were less credible. The plot was interesting to me, with the bear tracking the humans on a remote island located somewhere (undisclosed) in Puget Sound. Part of the interest for me was the location, as I live near Seattle. But honestly the plot themes were contrived. 1. A huge storm made the boat run aground. Since the island was shown as mountainous, it was hard for me to imagine such a storm on Puget Sound. The islands located on Puget Sound are not mountainous (but rugged). The extreme weather that made the boat run aground is not common here in Seattle. 2. I was not aware of grizzly bears living on any islands. The habitat on the islands is very limited -- there are no streams on the islands as shown in the movie. So for me, as a Native of Washington state, the location scenes didn't make sense.
