Okay, for starters, nothing is abducted from this film (other than the filmmakers' originality and any personality Taylor Lautner possesses away from the camera). I originally thought the title an awful marketing pun based off our young hero's tummy ("Ab-duction," get it?!?!?!), but he's not even shirtless all that much. If you can't tell by now this one is dull, and you'll forget everything about it 10 minutes after its over since its just a collection of cliches. It is rifftastic, though.

Being happy about getting buccos(pirates) tickets. was the best part of the movie and it was pretty cool that it was filmed in Pittsburgh but the overall movie was ok.

"Taylor Lautner can't carry a movie any more than Abigail Breslin can carry a refrigerator." - R. Kurt Osenlund

Let's get tothe brass tacks here: Abduction is not only the worst film ever made, it is the worst THING humanity had ever devised. I'd personally rate it a notch or two higher than the Holocaust. Taylor Lautner plays his part with an emotional range that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger look like Alec Guinness. The truly terrifying thing is that his acting is not the worst part of the film. I recently heard a rumor that owning a copy of Abduction in Germany is punishable by five years in prison.

Abduction is terrible, especially given how talented the supporting cast members are. But Lautner can't carry this film, the secondary actors are all underutilized, while the writing and action scenes were all lackluster. The plot doesn't even make complete sense, with things needing exposition being ignored, and things easily understood given all of the time. Unless you want to watch Taylor Lautner being chased around for 100 minutes, you have no reason to spend your time with Abduction.

"I walk around like everybody else but inside I just feel like I'm a stranger in my own life." Man, am I glad this dialog was improvised and no-one actually wrote this script. Am I right guys? ... Guys?

Abduction doesn't have one great failing; everything about it is lacking in one way or another. But special notice should be given to Shawn Christensen's whacked-out script, which darts around geographically without much rhyme or reason, and teems with cliched--or outright bizarre--dialogue ("I hate balloons"). John Singleton's direction suggests he knew he was making a bad film, and threw in some strange camerawork and bizarre characterization to amuse himself. Needless to say, a disaster.

I think its safe to say that Abduction is definitely not the best movie ever made, the plot line has been used before, and it is certainly hindered by the use of every cliche known to man. But certainly what boosts Abduction is the fact that Lautner is fit and is willing to do these action scenes. It may be cliche, and it may not make sense, but Abduction is merely nothing more then an action film. We have set the boundary low before for action filicks. Why tear apart a film for trying?

You can wear my hat, you can wear my shoes. The daughter of Phil Collins was fragile and cutie. The flick was like In Time without an interesting premise.

When you watch a 'million-dollar-spec-script' turned into a movie that has Taylor Lautner as an action lead; When you find such a movie filled to the brim with god-awful dialogues, nonsensical storyline and bland action pieces; When you find it's director unsuccessfully jumping styles from Hitchcock to Greengrass to Tony Scott in a matter of seconds??? You can tell the level to which the IQ's of some Hollywood Executives are dropping! Abduction almost becomes a quintessential must watch.
