Review of Abduction (2011) by Ashleymnchs — 28 May 2013

In my opinion "Abduction" was a great movie. The main points that were the highlight of this movie was the script, the acting and the direction. The script was very well put together. The words flowed together and made the whole movie seem real.

The script showed the hurt and distrust that Nathan had for everyone around him. For example, “Trust needs to be earned” was said throughout the entire movie. The script also helps the plot out by showing the intensity of the movie.

You weren't really sure what was going to happen next, which was the main point of the movie I believe. For example, when Nathan finds out that the “parents” he had been living with his whole life turn out to not be his actual parents he has to find out how to deal with this.

He also sets out on a mission to find out who his real parents which involved a lot of distrust of people, fighting and confusion.The acting was very well put together. The way Nathan showed his emotions helped me to respond to the movie emotionally in a way of understanding what it’s like to not know who to trust and the hurt of not knowing the truth.

Also, the smaller parts of the movie helped play out the movie. For example, Nathan’s friend who helped him get the tickets to the baseball game and gave him everything else he needed was a huge part of the movie.

Lastly, the direction of the film showed throughout the movie. Everything in the movie worked well together and it didn't look to me like anything was controlled or faked. I do believe that the film succeeded it’s original purpose, to be suspenseful and keep the audience on their toes.
