I didn't know anything about this movie when I began watching it so I didn't know what to expect. With that in mind, Abduction doesn't become interesting until it approaches the half hour mark. I'm not trying to imply it was moving slowly early on but I was beginning to wonder where it was going. Everything started normal but then suddenly shifted into a spy film, replete with many twists and turns.The male haters are envious against the lead actor for obvious reasons. Don't listen to them. This is one of the better covert operation movies out there.

There are so many haters of black directors. John Singleton is a genius & this movie is everything. Taylor Lautner was superb. The storyline was great. I belived in all the characters. I like how he made the characters realistic & how a real person's life would be turned upside down if such crazy events occured. People who "hate" this movie have very little imagination!!!!

What a lousy movie; I fast-forwarded through most of it. A bunch of stupid, puerile teens in a film with a hole-filled storyline. Bad acting, bad sound, bad direction, bad cinematography... you name it, it was BAD!
Oh yeah, there were several good-looking young girls, but most young girls are good looking with the clothes and makeup they put on to emohasise their best parts and adorn themseles.
The raucous, irritating music probably appeals to some mindless kinds these days, usual crap.
A deeply disappointing movie in all respects. Don't bother with it. 2/10 because there are in fact worse films than this crud.

My review will be short and sweet: Little Nikita (1988), starring 80's heartthrob River Phoenix, did the whole "kid discovers his parents are spies" thing much better. And River didn't see the need to take his shirt off every 5 minutes to distract you from the fact that he can't act... because he actually could.And for another "teenager gets caught up in spy stuff" movie, check out Gotcha! (1985) with Anthony Edwards from Revenge of the Nerds and ER.The 80's did spy movies much better. I'm pretty sure that's because we had lots of inspiration due to the Cold War.
