THE ABANDONED
(First Viewing)

Starting off the 8 Films To Do For series on the wrong foot. In fact, it picked up where I left off (I've seen 2 of the 8 movies prior to this film). A terrible story penned by 3 three people: Karim Hussain, Richard Stanley, and director Nacho Cerdà. Hopefully they're never put in charge again to develop a script. I was also very disappointed to see Karel Roden in this piece of crap. From the few films I've seen the man in I've enjoyed his work except for this. For example, there's one scene where he gets shot in the leg and he has to pull the bullet out with a pair of plyers. While doing so he hardly makes a grunt, even after pouring alcohol on the open wound. No offense to Karel but the man's no John Rambo here. I really hope some of the films are worth watching in this series but I have a feeling I'm going to be terribly disappointed \:\(
