Taylor Lautner’s ‘Abduction': What the Moviegoers Are Saying
"Best movie of all time," declares one fan, while another claims the action-thriller "was so predictable I was speaking the lines along with the actors."
Moviegoers got their first look at Taylor Lautner as a solo leading man in Abduction on Friday night.
In the Lionsgate action-thriller, the Twilight star plays a teenager who finds out he was kidnapped as a child after his picture shows up on a missing-persons website. Lily Collins, Alfred Molina, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Maria Bello also star.

Critics haven’t been kind to the movie. The Hollywood Reporter's chief film critic Todd McCarthy writes that Lautner "holds his own" with the veteran cast, but the “increasingly far-fetched” film "lets [him] down." Still others were less impressed with Lautner’s acting and called the dialogue unintentionally hilarious.
But what are the moviegoers saying about the film? Several who saw the movie took to Twitter to share their reactions, which seem to be mixed so far.

Early weekend box office... #1 MONEYBALL, #2 LION KING, #3 DOLPHIN TALE, #4 ABDUCTION << hopefully that kills the "franchise" idea.
Christopher Taber
Abduction looks like it should be called "Fisher Price My First Action Thriller" for ages 2 to 6.
The OTHER Calliope
Not surprised with the Abduction reviews at. all. Geez! The trailers were painful enough to watch and those are only 2min. long!
