Abduction (2011)
No one gets abducted
in “Abduction,” but for a “Bourne Identity” Junior knock-off staring the
scowling werewolf from “Twilight,” I guess the title “Who’s My Daddy?”
would not drag in the non-teenage fans, huh? It’s almost unfair to dub
“Abduction” a “Bourne” knock-off, it’s a boot-licking mash note that name
drops Matt Damon. The plot: High school misfit Nathan Parker (Taylor Lautner) learns from a missing children website that he is not quite himself. Just as Nathan confronts his “parents” (Jason Isaacs and Maria Bello), goons storm the suburban home. Guns blaze! Mom down! Dad down! Boy on
the run, with a gal (Lilly Collins of “Mirror, Mirror”) in tow! See, Serbian terrorists
set up the very website knowing that one day Nathan would visit it and flee right
into their insidious trap to outsmart Nathan’s real father, a brilliant ex-CIA
agent. Whew! Why not a Craig’s List ad? John Singleton directs on snooze, his
“Boyz ’N the Hood” days long gone. Lautner acts listlessly here as he does in “Twilight.”
Suspense? Zero. Unintended laughs? A villain warns, “There’s a bomb in the
oven!” and our heroes run to check the oven! Hilarious. C-
