Leave your thoughts about Abduction.
| DeadspinWill LeitchBy the end of "Abduction," it's even becoming difficult for supporting actors like Sigourney Weaver and Alfred Molina to keep from laughing at the lunacy unfolding. |
| Reason OnlineKurt LoderOn one hand, there are no glittering vampires to hoot at here. On the other, Lautner, poor devil, still can't get laid. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThis Taylor Lautner starrer has a good shot at being the year's most entertaining bad film. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovLautner's fun to watch, but the movie still wears thin, brought low by a useless and insufferable female lead and a plot that begins as cheerfully nonsensical and gradually grows into idiocy. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyFilled with dialogue that hits the floor like syrup on a wet sponge, and chase scenes that barely register a pulse, "Abduction" is a less than disposable action thriller; it's pre-disposable. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinSingleton once radiated ambition and vision. These days, he seems to be aiming for mediocrity at best. Even by those extraordinarily lenient standards, the inessential, perfunctory Abduction falls short |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekFurious but sadly silly...visually a slick piece of work [but] so astonishingly stupid in storytelling terms that by the end you'll be suppressing chuckles over its inanity. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[I]t's like Taylor Lautner made a movie just for Team Jacob!... Mostly it's a lot of Taylor standing around not moving his face or anything so that we can just look at him... |
| Boxoffice MagazineTodd GilchristThe new film Abduction has a lot of problems, but the biggest is the fact that no one gets abducted. Ever. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe jury's still out on Lautner's leading man future. |
