Abduction

I honestly went and saw this movie as a joke. That and to see just how well this generations up and coming actor can adapt to playing a whole new character, as Taylor Lautner leaves the pack behind and plays a boy whose entire life is literally a lie. Psh, original. Take a number buddy. 

Steve Harper (Lautner) is your average teenager, he stays out all night getting drunk with friends and gets grounded for it. He is also seeing psychiatrist Dr Geraldine Bennett (Sigourney Weaver) for a recurring dream he has that involves an unknown woman.
Like a formation of domino's, one normal day Steve's life falls apart whilst doing a school project on missing kids when he finds a photo of himself as a child on a database.
Less than 24hours after he confronts his parents about the photo and the information on the website things get interesting as his world is literally blown apart and he is left wondering if anyone has ever once told him the truth. Not sure who to trust, Steve and project partner and girl next door Karen (Lilly Collins) embark on a journey to discover the truth about Steve's birth and why all of a sudden three different people are after him.

This movie was filled with almosts and halfways,  the plot had potential but lacked depth and detail to make it substantial enough to satisfy me. As for the performance, heck we can't all just blame Lautner, we have to equally blame whoever cast him. Although I do give him credit for trying, as there were a few choice moments where you actually believed he was Steve Harper.

However you look at it, the movie was background television at best and the jokes on me because regardless of this starting out as a joke I still paid £5.95 for 106 minutes of my life that was Abducted from me and I'll never see again.
