    As Nathan, the teenage hero of Abduction, Lautner shows he's handy with stunts, many of which he clearly and impressively performs himself, and good with a fight scene. But when it comes to exchanges of dialogue, displays of emotion or just standing around, he's stiff and manifestly uncomfortable.

    Filled with laughable dialogue, Abduction goes nowhere.

    Molina and Weaver, who, most of the time, perform brilliantly, move through Abduction as if on autopilot.

    I didn't like the main actor pair but the story line ;) was pretty neat. It's saddens me to see that this movie has such a bad score at the moment.

    I'll be honest. "Abduction" is a terrible teenage action movie, but it's not THAT bad. As AKoreanCritic said, Taylor Lautner isn't that bad; he was actually pretty decent in this movie. Don't hate on Lautner guys. Just because he starred in that **** vampire movie we have no right to hate him.… Expand
