Abduction (2011) | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

John C I don't know whether I should be ashamed for liking this film or not. There's absolutely nothing new here that you haven't already seen (assuming you've been consuming a basic diet of Hollywood mainstream movies for the last two decades like I have).Abduction is about a boy Taylor Lautner (from Twilight fame) who discovers he is suddenly on the run from a group of baddies (you know the type - foreign accents, plenty of disposable henchmen and can only shoot bottles when firing machine guns at a teenager). Um, that's about it really. Taylor gets chased here, Taylor gets chased there, hooks up with a pretty young girl with big eyebrows along the way - that sort of thing.However, Abduction's big difference is that, instead of an adult being hunted by baddies who can't shoot straight (or overpower a fifteen year old), it's the afore-mentioned fifteen year old. And, baring in mind that there's minimal violence (defined by a lack of the red stuff when people get shot), this film is largely aimed at mid teens. It has plenty of pop culture references to Lady Gaga and Facebook that will amuse their generation.I couldn't really think of anything wrong with it. Okay, I've seen it all before and it ticks all boxes. It's not a classic, but it's entertaining enough.If you haven't seen this type of sinister-conspiracy-CIA-chase-type-film before, you'll probably love it and give it 5/5 (or just someone from `Team Jacob').If however, you grew up collecting the original Star Wars toys and can remember when Transformers had nothing to do with Michael Bay, you may feel like it's Beverly Hills 90210 mixed with Jason Bourne and your score will be more around the 3/5 mark.Maybe I'm just a child at heart. I actually appreciated it for a piece of silly, chase-orientated action entertainment. Plus it had Sigourney Weaver in it - and Ripley rocks.Give it a go. There's worse out there (Michael Bay, are you reading this?) Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review nadia If you're not going into this movie to satisfy a hunger for Taylor Lautner left from the rejection of his character in Twilight, don't bother with this movie. Team Jacob fans, like myself, are catered to with a steamy make-out scene and a few scantily clad shots of, uh... what was the lead's name again? Although Lautner's shoulders may be big and burly, he is simply incapable of carrying a film on them. As for non-Twihards, all this movie offers is 106 minutes of mediocre spy mystery/thriller brain rot which is neither mysterious nor thrilling. The only thing saving this film is the general Taylor Lautner-ness of it all. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: O famoso ator de Crepusculo e a filha de Phill Colins e o Dr. Octopus e a Alien ou Avatar, temos uma equipe Top da Galaxia. Mas o filme não rendeu assim e nem a critica e a bilheteria. Talvez se o filme fosse uma ficção, talvez daria mais certo. A estoria é de Nathan que é o filho de agente secreto que para manter a vida dele segura deixa que agentes criem ele como filhos deles. Mas isso muda, quando Nathan desconfia da sua família e entra em contato com os bandidos sem querer e que estão atrás do seu pai. E desta forma desencadeia todo o processo de perseguição. O incrível que os bandidos estão atrás do jovem 17 anos. Quem ficaria esperando todo este tempo este mesmo equivoco para mim ocorre no filme "A Mãe" com JLO. Pois 17 anos, não são 17 meses. Mas vamos relevar. Oque acontece que ele descobre que os seus pais, não são seus pais. E por isso eles são mortos pelos bandidos. E assim inicia uma perseguição e que Karen entra da gaiata na estoria. Para dar um ar de romance e o toque feminino. O incrível é o pouco tempo de luto que o rapaz tem. O incrível e ver 2 adolecentes dando um banho em agentes e bandidos extremamente treinados. E mesmo ocorre a forma que no final morre o grande chefe. Foi criada uma grande trama para um final pífio. Roteiro e enredo tudo mediano.Vale apena assistir? Se for fã de alguns dos protagonistas? Que fazem uma interpretação ruim.Nota: 5,5 Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Discover G Bland and forgettable. Below average discount bin movie Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Jeff S I will admit I only got about 10 minutes into this movie. The main character was such an a-hole and jerk I could care less what happened to him. The acting was extremely mediocre and the fight scene with his father was extended Beyond belief. This looks like it would only be interesting to someone 16 and under. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review BioLogical E To be fair, I only dislike the 1st 20 minutes of the movie. But from the practice fight from the father and son (Taylor Lautner) and further on that is when it got good. Overall it is still a good movie.
