A soulless and incompetent action/thriller not even a veteran lead actor could save, let alone Taylor Lautner.

The holes in the film's twist-filled story are often so big you could almost squeeze Lautner's sex appeal through them. Oct 18, 2011 | Rating: 1/5

Sigourney Weaver? After Avatar, surely she doesn't need the cash? Sep 29, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

While the ultra-banal dialogue draws the occasional titter, the action scenes are tame and it's rife with plot holes that you could navigate a burning blimp through. Sep 27, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The movie is a more objective opportunity to assess Lautner's potential as a general-purpose action hero once his emo-goth run wraps. You might not want to go betting on that one. Sep 26, 2011 | Rating: 1.5/4

Perhaps the only way to approach Abduction that will not result in a 105-minute boredom-induced coma is to think of it as a comedy, preferably with a drinking game attached. Sep 25, 2011 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

It is an entertaining thriller that lets Lautner show he looks good as a young action hero, and as such, it accomplishes its mission. Feb 8, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Astute viewers will find themselves unhappily wondering what the point is of hiring great, experienced actors like Sigourney Weaver, Maria Bello, Alfred Molina and Jason Isaacs, only to then award them such a diminutive screen time. Nov 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, there are many, many more reasons to skip it, the overriding reason being the leading man, Taylor Lautner-a hunky Neanderthal with the acting range of a dial tone. Nov 12, 2018 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

A film that's not only brain-dead, but also treats the audience as if it's equally as stupid. It shows as much contempt for its characters as it does for its viewers. Oct 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/10 | Full Review…

May not be the stupidest movie I ever saw, but got to be coming close. No wonder Taylor does not seem to get decent roles! (By the way, I am not a fan, but he is not *that* bad as an actor). This is just a crappy movie with a silly plot.
Super Reviewer
A dumb thriller with a foolish script. Taylor Lautner has one expression, dazed confusion, no matter what kind of danger he's in so involvement in his plight is minimal. Lily Collins is not much better. Quality actors Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs, and Sigourney Weaver are wasted in nothing parts and Alfred Molina seems as bored as you will be.
Some interesting, Hitchcockian twists and turns but overall the acting and less than perfect action sequences make it difficult to watch.
A very average action/thriller, more of a teenage Bourne identity. It obviously had plenty of money to be spent on it, but from the very experienced cast none of the performances were that good. It does feel like a collection of ideas from other films, but sadly doesn't do them as well. Ok if nothing else is on.
