Abduction : Movie Review


Sure, Taylor Lautner (2010's "Eclipse") looks good when he's ripping off his shirt and turning into a werewolf, but does he have what it takes to carry an entire film? "Abduction," his first solo headlining gig since hitting it big with the "Twilight" series, answers this question with a doubtful shrug. Granted, few actors (if any) could make this particular project work—as disquietingly directed by John Singleton (2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious") and inanely written by musician Shawn Christensen, it's increasingly dopey—but Lautner isn't exactly a master thespian, either. He's not hopeless like Alex Pettyfer—at least there's a sliver of charisma in what he does—but as a performer he has the complexity of a Tinker Toy.
