Like Beiber, I hope Lautner saves his money because, like most teeny boppers, he will need it after Hollywood has forgotten him.

His acting consists of a pout and his angry look and has not grown beyond his limited acting ability in the Twilight movies. The rest of the cast does a good job of walking through their roles and excepting the paycheck but there is nothing that I would want to see or experience again.
Lautner, either better take some acting lessons or give it up now because the body and prissy acting isn't going to get him anywhere.… Expand

It's obviously a copycat Bourne movie and Taylor Lautner is a poor copy of Matt Damon. The action sequences are below par and the storyline is full of holes. Eatch the original Bourne movies on DVD instead.

I saw most of this movie when i was at the barbershop getting my haircut and i couldn't wait until the barber swiveled my chair so my back would be facing the tv.

The plot (if you can call it that) behind this movie is almost as bad as its cast. Taylor Lautner is a awkward at his best, and laughable as an action movie actor. this movie is predictable and uninteresting, don't watch it.

This movie is awful! My girlfriend rented it because Taylor Lautner takes off his shirt. The writing and acting is terrible and unbelievable. I think she liked it... I was bored to tears...

They lie when they call this a movie. A movie is supposed to ber entertaining, this drek was just teen targeted drivel. Save your time and money and pass on this turkey.

Save your time and money and pass on this turkey. The producer clearly thought that having a star from a twilight move was enough to carry the film, so there was no need for a script or plot.… Expand

If Abduction does anything, it makes the viewer laugh multiple times in a 90 minute span. Its like its building to one big punch line with little nuggets of comedy along the way. This would be a good thing if this film was a comedy. JohnIf Abduction does anything, it makes the viewer laugh multiple times in a 90 minute span. Its like its building to one big punch line with little nuggets of comedy along the way. This would be a good thing if this film was a comedy. John Singleton brings an action film so terrible it crosses into spoof territory with a lead actor (Taylor Lautner) who is thoroughly repulsive (at least acting wise). Singletons desire to make a fast paced action film which calls back to older films just reminds the viewer that the older films were so much better. As his first lead role away from The Twilight Saga, Lautner flops like a fish on dry land. He fails to tell the difference between acting and annunciation. The film suffers from other things but the score pretty much says it all. Its a shambles of a movie which everyone involved should be ashamed of, especially Lautner.… Expand

Not very much to say, it's almost not a movie. Despite the presence of truly good actors as Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs (only here for the money. I don't see other reason), it is simply boring. Taylor Lautner is the worst inNot very much to say, it's almost not a movie.

For what it's worth, I was actually pretty entertained by this movie, flaws and all. The acting is pretty bad; Taylor Lautner is horrible, but is not just him that is bad, there are some very capable actors here that do not deliver. The faultFor what it's worth, I was actually pretty entertained by this movie, flaws and all. The acting is pretty bad; Taylor Lautner is horrible, but is not just him that is bad, there are some very capable actors here that do not deliver. The fault is not on them entirely because the script is bad as well, there is some atrocious dialogue in this film. The main problem with Abduction though is the plot. There are gaping plot holes in the narrative that just leaves way too much up in the air; by the end of the movie you still won't have any clue who any of the players are, whether they were good/bad, or what their motives were. This makes for a film that has some decent action sequences that entertain, but a story that frankly makes zero logical sense.… Expand

More like ab-DUCK-shun, because this movie is destined to follow in the footsteps of "Howard the Duck". "Abduction" will undoubtedly be one of the worst, if not the worst movie of the year, when lists come out in December. Taylor Lautner isMore like ab-DUCK-shun, because this movie is destined to follow in the footsteps of "Howard the Duck". "Abduction" will undoubtedly be one of the worst, if not the worst movie of the year, when lists come out in December. Taylor Lautner is impressive with his physical ability and high kicks, but the absolute painstaking part of the "Abduction" experience is Lautner's acting...or the lack of ability to do so. A true alien abduction, complete with probing, would have been less painful. I see a Razzie in Lautner's future. I would have to say it is a sure thing. As for the plot, not really well thought out, but who am I to say...I was too focused on Lautner, wondering if his next line may just be the one he nails.… Expand
