Review of Abduction (2011) by Elian D — 26 Mar 2012

Everything in this movie happens artificially, with the only purpose of getting to the next plot point. As an expectator you can only suspend disbelief so far, but coincidence after coincidence, the story stumbles while explaining with expository "dialog" (if you can call that a dialog) every little bit of information, including everything you just saw just one scene before, what you figured out since you're smarter than an ameba, and whatever stretch they think would make more sesnse if they try to explain it (and of course, everything is SuperSecret but the top spies decide it would be nice for the audience if they explain it to a young civilian, you know?

Laurner used to look like "the one with some talent" when he was in the Twilight movies... Turns out he looks like he's still on the same charachter. The only discernible difference is that he got to laugh once here.

Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Dermont Mulroney, the guy from the original "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series... So much talent wasted... Even Maria Bello... They all act their supporting parts well, but that can't save this poor excuse for a movie.

Story: Unlikely.

Dialogs: stupid.

Plotholes: big.

Acting (leads): unexistent.

Acting (supporting cast): nice.

Script: uncohesive, incoherent.

Charachters: cartoonish, more suitable for a "7 year old kids save the world" kind of movie.

Special FX: crappy. Watch out for the house explosion and almost every window of any moving vehicle, you'll get a laugh.
