Abandoned

Excellence in true dramatic prose. RIP Brittany!
Imagine waking up and taking your boyfriend to the hospital for a routine procedure, only to find out that an hour later he turns up missing. Not in the computer system, not on the grid at all. Pretty devastating, wouldn't it be?

The final movie filmed by the late Brittany Murphy, Abandoned, comes packed with quite the punch. From one twist to another, we chase after Mary who's being chased by hospital administration- to name a few, who think she's lost her mind. She's leading to believe that her boyfriend Kevin, Dean Cain, has gone missing and not a single employee believes her. When Detective Franklin, Jay Pickett, steps in to investigate he finds more than he bargained for. After a day of thinking this super blond psycho fits the bill, he gives up his efforts to help her only to later find the answers to solve the puzzle.

This bone tingling suspense thriller will put viewers at the edge of their seats, chomping at finger nails and picking at those loose fibers...

A SAD FAREWELL
When a celebrity passes away it seems we focus on the good that the person did while on Earth and not the bad. A noble thought and one that should be so, but when the case in point is an actor, we then have to deal with the work they left behind, the final films that were yet to be released. Such is the case with ABANDONED and actress Brittany Murphy who was found dead last year. Already completed, the film has just been released on DVD with little or no promotion. Perhaps that's for the best as the film offers nothing new to the thriller genre and a performance that seems phoned in rather than well done by the late Ms. Murphy.

Murphy stars as Mary, a young bank executive on the way to the hospital with her new boyfriend Kevin (Dean Cain) who is due for orthopedic surgery. The hospital is in the process of closing and moving to a new location, but this outpatient surgery shouldn't take more than an hour or so. At least that's what the nurse who takes Kevin's forms tells...

Abandoned
I believe this was Brittany Murphy's last movie prior to her passing. A great shame and sadness because she was a very talented actress. This movie may have been a small production, but it really shines out and grabs you. It has a great plot with drama, mystery and that big question that we all like to ask ourselves, "did he or she do it, or is there going to be a big twist at the end?" And so on. This movie is fast pacing and has you hooked from the first start. I only wish that Brittany was still here to continue to share her talents.
