Actually, Lautner and Collins did a very good job - especially Lautner - in carrying the film. And while many critics and moviegoers may believe those two had failed, I would disagree. But it was all up to the likes of Taylor Lautner and his co-star, Lily Collins, to achieve this task. Any of these performers could have easily carried this film. Singleton also worked well with a cast that featured solid performances from the likes of Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs, Sigourney Weaver, Michael Nyqvist, Dermot Mulroney and Alfred Molina. for his beautiful photography of Pittsburgh and the area around southwestern Pennsylvania. Two, thanks to director John Singleton's direction, 'ABDUCTION' was a well-paced film that featured exciting action sequences and solid dramatic moments.

One, the movie featured a solid story about a teenager being used by the CIA and foreign terrorists, because of his father's profession. In fact, I thought it was an entertaining movie.

No Hollywood producer would ever heavily finance an action thriller starring an 18-to-19 year-old actor, who was only known for co-starring in a series of Young Adult vampire flicks - at least not ten years ago. And if I must be frank, 'ABDUCTION' did not turn out to be another 'DIE HARD' or 'LETHAL WEAPON'. A great deal of negative reviews practically swamped this film. Was 'ABDUCTION' any good? Most critics seemed to think otherwise. Instead, he wanted as a bargaining chip for a source of valuable information. But this hunt has nothing to do with him being genetically enhanced.

'ABDUCTION' does feature a hunt by an intelligence agency and terrorist for an adolescent. And the last thing I wanted to see was another 'profound' movie about some highly skilled teenager wanted by various governments and terrorists. Personally, I found 'HANNA' to be a pretentious bore. I suspect that many critics would have been more satisfied if 'ABDUCTION' had been another 'HANNA'. Thankfully, it did not turned out that way. When I first saw the preview for 'ABDUCTION', I had assumed it would be another 'HANNA' - namely about a genetically enhanced adolescent trained to be an assassin. Kozlow had created the website in order to locate Nathan and use him as leverage to force Martin to return the list. She also reveals that Nathan's biological father, Martin, is a CIA agent who stole a list from Kozlow with the names of corrupt CIA operatives. Bennett appears and tells Nathan that Burton cannot be trusted and reveals that Nathan's adoptive parents were CIA agents assigned to look after him. Nathan and Karen escape and attempt to call the police, but the call is intercepted by CIA operative Frank Burton, who tells Nathan that he is in danger and sends a team to pick him up. They attack Nathan's parents, Kevin and Mara, who tell him to run before being murdered and the house is destroyed. Not long after Nathan's call, Kozlow sends two of his agents to Nathan's house. Nathan calls the website's owner, unaware that he is a Russian terrorist named Viktor Kozlow. Searching in his basement, he finds the same shirt that Steven is wearing in the picture and realizes that he and Steven are the same person.

When Karen finds a website that shows how the children would look like as adults, Nathan discovers that a young boy named Steven Price would look exactly like him at an older age.

One day, Nathan is partnered with his neighbor and fellow classmate Karen Murphy for a school assignment about missing children. Nathan Harper has a recurring nightmare featuring the death of an unknown woman and consults a psychiatrist named Dr. But I recently came across one, when I saw Taylor Lautner's 2011 film called 'ABDUCTION'.ĭirected by John Singleton and written by Shawn Christensen, 'ABDUCTION' is an action thriller about a Pennsylvania teen who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website. It is very rare to find a Hollywood action film that features a leading man under the age of twenty (20).
