Abduction


Taylor Lautner is the hunk who played in the Twilight series.  He's a handsome dude, and female viewers get to see his face a lot!  By his side is the pretty Lily Collins, an up-and-coming actress who adds even more eye candy to the film.

OK, is there more to this film than beautiful people?  Sort of.

Never a spoiler, I can say that the plot is explained by the title:  Taylor Lautner's character is abducted.  His adopted parents have raised him in a curious manner:  Dad teaches his kid to be a tough, fierce fighter, while Mom admires what Dad has done.

So the kid is well versed in martial arts.  Why?  Continue reading, friends!

Taylor's character does what most adopted kids do:  He seeks answers.  Who are his real parents?  Why is he living with adopted parents?  Why haven't they told him he was adopted?  Was he adopted or abducted?

So many questions!  Taylor's teen love interest, the beautiful Lily Collins, gets involved in the plot.  We cannot say how.  But the two of them end up on the run!  From whom?  Why?  How?  And just how is the government tied up in all this?

Will the kids outrun the bad guys who want to do them in?  For you to find out, dear readers!

A fun film.  A bit too teen-ish for adult viewers.  But once you get past the first fifteen minutes, the film really picks up.  A- grade.  A bit contrived...requiring not only suspension of disbelief but keen interest in teenage angst.
