Abduction (2011) 7/10

Starring : Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello, Sigourney Weaver
Director : John Singleton
Running Time : 106 mins

While working on a school project, Nathan Harper (Lautner) and his school friend Karen Murphy (Collins) discover a website that shows photos of children who have been reported missing. As they look through the photos, Nathan sees a young boy who bears more than a passing resemblance for him, and as he digs deeper he discovers that his entire life may be a lie.

The fact that the concept behind this movie is incredibly unlikely, and that a lot of the clues fall into place a little too neatly (Nathan has a stained romper suit that hasn’t been cleaned in over a decade, and happens to be the same one he is wearing in the missing persons photo!), this is still an entertaining thriller with enough action to keep most viewers engrossed for the duration, although it might be more aimed at teens than adults.
