Abstruse is a 2019 thriller movie that tells the story of two private investigators who are hired to look into the disappearance of a young woman. The movie is directed by Harley Wallen, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Bryce C. Campbell. Tom Sizemore stars as Detective Frank Johnson, a grizzled and seasoned investigator who is called upon by his partner, Detective Chase Stevens (Kris Reilly), to investigate a missing persons case. The two are asked to look into the disappearance of a young woman named Tara (Harley Wallen), who has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a web of deceit and corruption that leads them down a dangerous path.

Dennis Haskins, best known for his role as Mr. Belding on Saved by the Bell, co-stars as a wealthy businessman who is involved in the case. Haskins' character is a shadowy figure who may be involved in Tara's disappearance, or may have information that can help the investigators solve the case.

Despite the film's low budget and unknown cast, Abstruse manages to keep audiences on the edge of their seats with its fast-paced action and unpredictable plot twists. The movie is filled with gunfights, car chases, and suspenseful moments that keep viewers guessing until the very end.

One of the standout performances in the movie comes from Tom Sizemore, who delivers a gritty and intense performance as Detective Johnson. Sizemore brings a level of authenticity to the role, having himself battled addiction and legal troubles in the past. His experience shines through in his portrayal of a man who is haunted by his past, but still committed to solving the case at hand.

Kris Reilly, who plays Detective Stevens, also delivers a solid performance. His character is the more level-headed of the two investigators, providing a nice contrast to Sizemore's more volatile character. Reilly's chemistry with Sizemore works well on screen, and the two actors play off each other's strengths.

The movie's director, Harley Wallen, also makes a cameo appearance in the film as Tara's father. While his role is small, he manages to make an impact with his emotional performance as a grieving father.

Abstruse is not without its flaws, however. The movie's low budget is apparent in certain scenes, particularly in some of the special effects and action sequences. At times, the cinematography can also be a bit shaky, making it difficult to follow the action on screen.

Despite these shortcomings, Abstruse is an entertaining thriller that delivers plenty of suspense, action, and drama. The performances from its lead actors are strong, and the movie's twists and turns keep the audience engaged until the very end. While it may not be a masterpiece of cinema, Abstruse is still a solid entry in the world of low-budget thrillers.

In conclusion, Abstruse is a well-paced thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The movie's impressive performances, particularly from Tom Sizemore, make up for its occasional technical shortcomings. Fans of action-packed mystery movies will enjoy this pulse-pounding ride.

Abstruse is a 2019 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 57 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.2.
