Taylor Lautner(he as an actor and the Twilight films I am very indifferent to) is wooden in a very irritating sense. The film's problem however is that it doesn't do anything with them.Ībduction's acting doesn't fare much better, with nobody looking natural in their roles. I admire films that deal with themes that people can identify with, with Abduction using isolation and loss. The more dramatic scenes are unemotive, stodgy and contains Abduction's most stilted moments, while the ending is anti-climatic, the beginning was cheesy and plot points are poorly incorporated and resolved. I liked the concept of the film, but I wasn't engaged by the story. It is very laboured, cliché-ridden and doesn't flow very well at all, complete with pop-culture references that I agree will date quickly. The action itself is alright, but I couldn't properly enjoy it because the editing felt very awkward and frenzied, so any skill and intimacy was lost.ĭialogue-wise, Abduction is awful. The music had some decent rock tunes on its own, but they don't always suit the tone of the film. Abduction doesn't necessarily look cheap, but the editing lacks finesse and feels stilted and the camera angles often have a dry and frenzied look to it particularly in the action sequences. The direction is rather plodding and never really that focused. Okay, I'll give the film some credit, it is not as bad as the trailer suggested. The premise of the movie, the veteran cast and a talented director were the reasons why I wanted to see this film, despite Taylor Lautner and that the trailer looked awful.

ABDUCTION 2011 MOVIE
Now is this particular film original.?.No, it's not.I have seen the "My picture on the milk carton" routine used more than once.But is Abduction a fun movie.?.Yes it is.Ībduction is a popcorn movie.It's meant to simply allow the audience to have a good time.If people go into this movie expecting Oscar-like performances and a beautifully written storyline.Then those people are setting themselves up for a big let down.īut why put yourself through that when all that needs to be done is to simply sit back and enjoy the ride.And that's all there is too it. Sitting down to watch this film with Twilight in mind is going to ensure that viewers will NOT have a good time.Which is why wonderful movies like "Welcome To The Rileys" and "The Runaways" both starring Kristen Stewart didn't get nearly enough attention. The Twilight franchise.Although successful.Isn't a franchise that is critically acclaimed or well liked by fans other than young people with out-of-control hormones.And because of this.Films like Abduction is either overlooked or totally panned by fans. This film is a prime example to why certain actors are very underrated in Hollywood.I call it "The Luke Skywalker Syndrome".One hit franchise that wrecks a young actor's career before it can really get started.
