Abduction
What are the filmmaker$ up to?
Originally published on metropolis.co.jp on June 2012
No one is at any time abducted in this lame teen “thriller.” And that’s just the beginning of its illogicalities. The filmmaker$ are clearly trying to position the glaringly untalented Taylor Lautner, spawn of Twilight, as an action hero (figure?) in a sort of teenage Bourne Identity. The kid’s even less expressive than Seagal, fer crissake. This mind-numbingly awful new low for the once-promising John Singleton (Boyz ‘N the Hood) also drags in Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs and Alfred Molina in a failed attempt to add some luster, or anything for that matter. Dedicated Twi-hards only.
