Abduction

Lily Collins, Taylor Lautner      d/ John Singleton

This was a totally preposterous movie. Even for a contemporary action film. The plot was absurd, chases, escapes, romance, climactic scenes, plot resolution and final sweet moment...all ditto. Nothing about this film was even remotely believable. Even as a cartoon it pushed past the limits of credibility.

This was not a cheap production and I find it dismaying that someone (Singleton?) was able to raise the money to get it made, marketed and distributed. If this is where the American movie audience is then I'm living in the wrong place. Or maybe, quoting Brian Wilson...I just wasn't made for these times...
