Rising star Taylor Lautner from
Twilight finally gets to lead his own film. Thank god he has a long career ahead of him because
Abduction is the not way you want to start off your career as a (sole) lead actor. I will say that
Abduction is better than expected, but that's not saying much considering how bad the trailers were and how low my expectations were. This is a dumb, dumb action movie that isn't even entertaining or so bad it's good. It just keeps getting more absurd and continues to lose traction by the minute, until it just ends. Taylor Lautner isn't as bad as the critics said he was, but he wasn't anything special. He kind of just went through the motions from the beginning to end. Really the only performance that was horrible was Lily Collins, who plays Lautner's love interest/ person he's on the run with.
Abduction doesn't even work as a mindless time-waster. I feel bad for a talented veteran director like John Singelton being involved in this project. It's clear he tried his hardest, but there was nothing he could do to save this stupid movie.
Abduction is a ridiculous and incompetent action thriller that can't even provide any cheap thrills or mindless entertainment.
1.5/5 Stars
