Abduction

For what it's worth, I was actually pretty entertained by this movie, flaws and all. The acting is pretty bad; Taylor Lautner is horrible, but is not just him that is bad, there are some very capable actors here that do not deliver. The fault is not on them entirely because the script is bad as well, there is some atrocious dialogue in this film. The main problem with Abduction though is the plot. There are gaping plot holes in the narrative that just leaves way too much up in the air; by the end of the movie you still won't have any clue who any of the players are, whether they were good/bad, or what their motives were. This makes for a film that has some decent action sequences that entertain, but a story that frankly makes zero logical sense.

Ok i see that Rotten Tomatoes has given it a rating of 4%??? I personally think thats kinda harsh and i'm kinda glad i didnt let that stop me from seeing this. Well actually those that collect the cash made from this film can thank my donation due to my 9 yr old daughter who aside from Justin Beiber literally worships the ground Taylor Laughtner walks on!! C'mon people this film wasn't that bad i have seen much worse just have a look at my worst movies ever list on this excellent movie site and you will see.

However i felt the movie's storyline could've been improved in a few ways. I personally enjoy seeing Taylor's presence on the big screen, I mean alot of cool actors throughout the years have been given really below average ratings and still chugged right along. So i hope that …

Abduction (2011) review

Daniel Corleone - wrote on 05/11/2012

Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) always felt he was different so his school lets him attend session with Dr. Geraldine "Geri" Bennett (Sigourney Weaver). Karen Murphy (Lily Collins) in some weird consequential situation becomes partners with Karen Murphy (Lily Collins), his neighbor and crush. So many action packed scenes only to have a lousy conclusion and poor character development. An only noteworthy line was “It’s a messy world Nathan.” A lot of cheesy moments to swallow because of the long overdue romance and irresponsible father, copycat Bourne version with lack of a better plot. You never discover about Nathan's father only until the end, which no clear face was even displayed. A memory of a dead mother in which he never knew, and 2 CIA undercover agents who can't even …

"If you don't give me the list I'll kill all your friends on Facebook" (this has got to be THE funniest line of the movie)

Nathan (Taylor Lautner) is your ordinary everyday high school lad who fancies the girl who lives over the road. One day while the two are doing a research project on missing children he comes across a photo of a missing child who bears a striking resemblance to himself and decides to dig deeper. Unfortunately this alerts his enemies to his location and suddenly his quiet suburban American home life is turned upside down. The people he thought were his mum and dad Mara (Maria Bello) and Kevin (Jason Isaacs) turn out not to be, and are killed, and he is now on the run, with the girl from across the road, from numerous enemies that he cannot even identify. Alfred …

Abduction review

Before I get into Abduction let me go over the plot. Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) discovers his parents are not really his parents. When men come and murder his parents, he must escape men trying to kill him and discover who his real parents are and why all this is happening. Nathan is targeted by a team of trained killers, forcing him on the run with the only person he can trust. This would be his neighbor, Karen (Lily Collins). There's not even a real reason for Karen to go on the run with him. I guess they just wanted Taylor Lautner to have a girl with him.

This is an action movie, but the fight scenes are so bad and laughable that it sort of tuns into an action comedy. The chase scenes were equally bad. It all feels staged. You just never get into the action, and that's really …
