It's not the most satisfying way of telling a story to be honest, but it's a pretty dazzling movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-29083423358275506442013-10-23T01:17:07.412-04:002013-10-23T01:17:07.412-04:00THE ABANDONED is such a great little flick.

Here is what I think are three problems with the movie, only one of which is truly its fault: (1) It had the poor fortune of following Dawn of the Dead, and how DO you follow that? (2) I didn't come to the movie until years after it came out, when I was already tired of the "Military as True Bad Guy" plot device in other movies. So it felt old. (3) You can't deny that the military figures are utterly overwritten to the point of frustrating cliche. I'm torn, because I enjoy the performance Joseph Pilato gives as Rhodes, but its a character that's utterly lacking in depth or in the ability to evoke a shred of sympathy or understanding.
