Movies in Review: "Abduction"

If you actually thought this movie looked interesting from the trailer, I'm inclined to say that you may have been smoking at the time...smh. I thought the trailer was lousy, and that this was going to be a bad look for Director John Singleton, who has not directed a film since "Four Brothers" in 2005. Its been a while for him in the directors chair, and unfortunately we can't call this a comeback at all...smh.

First of all, this movie is not for anyone over the age of 16yrs, and it would help it if you were also female. It was obvious to make Lautner the focal point, and to hopefully have the women swooning. This may have worked, because the teenage girls watching it at the time I did were giggling at every scene he was in...yeah Im nauseous. Its a good thing that this young man has the looks, because he definitely doesn't have the acting chops to carry a whole movie. His skills fall right in line with Channing Tatum (who I loathe as an actor...smh). Lautner sounded like he was reading from a teleprompter, and all his action scenes looked choreographed instead appearing to be real action. It really doesn't get any better, and was a waste for the exceptional acting of Maria Bello and Sigourney Weaver, who must have owed Singleton a favor to appear in this annoying piece of work they call a movie. The storyline is for teens. Adults would only find themselves wanting to vomit...D-
