Despite the fun he has playing beer pong and riding his motorcycle, he feels weird, like he doesn’t belong at the school or with his family…a stranger in his own skin. Lautner is all smiles here, other than when he’s about to deck his crush’s boyfriend or when he’s at therapy, where his shrink (Weaver) leads him by the hand through some angsty boilerplate. He crushes on the girl next door ( Lily Collins), gets wasted at a party, gets busted by his dad and, like your normal American high school kid, is beaten up by him in the backyard of their fantastic mansion. In the first, Nathan (Lautner), is a typical high school kid.
ABDUCTION 2011 MOVIE
There, they were forced, likely at gunpoint, to recite 20-years worth of teen action movie cliches as Taylor Lautner smiled or grimaced at them, depending on the scenario. Guns are fired, people are murdered, others are beaten up, and spies from the CIA battle a rogue Russian black-ops agent looking to regain some stolen files, but the only people who get kidnapped here are Alfred Molina, Sigourney Weaver and Michael Nyqvist, who were apparently blindfolded and shoved into a van headed to Pittsburgh.
I had a hell of a lot of fun watching this Cleveland Steamer.īlake Howard is a writer/site director/podcaster at the quick spoiler for those of you considering putting down your hard earned money on Abduction: Nobody in it gets abducted. By the end as the credits rolled there was a standing ovation in the cinema (started by me). The more the movie played, the worse and more implausible the story, the more laughter heard reverberating throughout. My lady hit me for laughing in the beginning and very quickly found herself laughing uncontrollably too.
ABDUCTION 2011 FULL
In a screening full of cynical film critics, the laughter started early in this one. This 80s Sci-Fi Queen is reduced to a joke in this performance. And boy is her delivery ridiculously Mean Girls chipper. Sigourney Weaver stars as Nathan’s therapist (yeah he’s also in therapy for scowling and round-housing as far as I understood) and spy protector who returns from ‘faked’ death in the end to offer Nathan a place to live and scowl. Oh yeah and he’s so awesome that he kills Blomkvist with great ease (something that the entire CIA couldn’t do throughout the film). McAb’s Dad emerges and Dr Claws it from a distance it felt like I was watching Charlie’s Angels.
It’s the ending you were begging for – awesomely anticlimactic and in a baseball stadium. Great actors shamelessly paying for extensions to their houses by starring in this include the wonderful Maria Bello (A History of Violence), intense Jason Isaacs (Good), many-armed Alfred Molina (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Spider-Man 2) and alpha female Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Aliens, Ghostbusters). So instead of his Higher Learning mode we’re seeing him very much in 2 Fast 2 Furious mode. He really hasn’t done anything of value since the 90s and let me tell you he brings some hammy and insincere performances from great actors (not in this film but based on their filmography). John Singleton directs Abduction – yes, the Oscar-nominated director of Boyz n the Hood. I think it’s really important to first talk about those involved and how they sold out to star alongside the dog from Twilight. “I just saw my parents get murdered in front of my own eyes.”īut I had a hell of a lot of fun watching it. The acting is horrendous, the direction is stilted and devoid of style, the scripts is laughable, and I actually mean you will laugh out loud when you see it because of the horrendously bad dialogue e.g. A youth discovers that the people who raised him aren’t his real parents, a revalation that leaves him running for his life.Ībduction is the one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
