Abduction

So let me get something out there, I did not only see this movie because Taylor Lautner was in it. I really wanted to see this because of the action and adventure.....ok ok I was also curious about our dear little Taylor. For those of you that don't know I met little Taylor once at a book signing for Breaking Dawn. (That's right I just admitted my Twilight readings!) He is from the town next to mine and I have to say he is the sweetest most down to earth guy I have ever met. I did meet him before he was big buff Taylor. Anyways I was interested to see if our local boy could hold his own in this film. I must say, BRAVO

The movie is the typical teen action film. There is a girl that the boy likes and as always she gets mixed up in the mess. You all know I have a strict no spoilers policy unless I feel very passionate about the movie. So I'll try my very best not to give anything away. The film is about Nathan (Lautner) a high school kid who has a less than normal family. His parents are played by Maria Bello and Jason Issacs, both are amazing in this film. They are not in the movie long but they have this amazing chemistry with each other and with Taylor. Issacs trains Lautner how to defend himself and they honestly beat the crap out of each other. The fighting in this movie is awesome and the fact that Taylor does almost all of his stunts is just plain IMPRESSIVE! Let's be honest, the boy has mad skills!

One day Nathan and his neighbor girl Karen (Lily Collins) work on a school project about missing kids. They find a picture of Nathan on a missing kids website. So out of curiosity Nathan get a hold of this website and asks about this missing child. This sends a red flag to all these societies looking for him. This is when everything falls apart. Nathan has to go on the run with Karen as they become attacked by agents and hired guns. We find out that Nathan's family is not who they say they are and now all these little societies are trying to find Nathan because he has information.

So the rest of the movie is Sigourney Weaver trying to hide Nathan and Alfred Molina as the agent trying to hunt them down. There are train fights and car crashes and lots of explosions. All the good stuff that every action film needs.

There is also this great moment where we realise Taylor Lautner is no longer a little kid. He has this great intimate scene with Lily Collins that had my jaw drop. Let's just say it reminded me of that moment in The Fast and Furious where Vin Diesel picks up Michele Rodriquez....YIKES! Yeah let's just say I had to remind myself that Lautner is 19. Boy is gonna be a stud of a leading man!

Over all the movie was pretty good, the stunts and action were awesome. The movie did have a ton of total crap dialog. You could almost predict the cheesy one-liner coming next. Other than that the movie is still entertaining and interesting. I say if you are in the mood for some action and a fun story check this out. The acting is alright and the stunts kick major tail!
