A Masterpiece!

A Disappointing Continuation

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Matt (Mark Harris) is a grease monkey and former boxer who takes a holiday to the states with his family. Not just any place, but the city where children are kidnapped and sold to childless parents without adoption papers and where young girls are also forced into prostitution, especially if they are English tourists.Matt's little girl Lara (nicely played by Honor Kneafsey) is kidnapped in what was a set up from the on set. With his wife beaten into a coma and his daughter missing, police suspect the boxer with an arrest record. With the help of a street wise stranger, Matt goes Charles Bronson all over the bad guys while easily avoiding the cops.One of the nice things I noticed about this film is that the kidnapped British teens were given the same treatment as their kidnapped non-English speaking counterparts. Just makes one proud to be an American.This is another "Death Wish" type of film. It has a some differences, but basically it is a vigilante film. The acting and plot were okay, but then again this type of film doesn't require too much.Parental Guide: f-bomb, rape, nudity (Kelsey Hardwick)

Good plot. Not original. But good.Too many characters looked alike in this film and I was having trouble understanding each person's story because of it. Also, the acting was overplayed at times and underplayed at times. For example of overplay, when Matt kept giving his monologues about how much he loved his child and kept repeating the same message in each different monologue. An example of underplay, is when Matt comes home and finds his child taken and his wife beaten unconscious and covered in blood. His first reaction was "oh no, I'm going to find Lara". I think in a situation like this, one would spend just a little more time concerned about the well-being of their spouse and then set off to find his daughter after he is assured that his wife will be taken into medical care. But there was no assurance because he beat the two police that were there to suss out the situation. The fire scene - terrible.And how he just falls unconscious right in front of the hospital, after having driven the whole way there. Also how it took what felt like an hour for medics to arrive and help him, right outside the hospital. And must I even say, if it was a (sort-of) happy ending anyway, why wouldn't you finish it and give the audience a little closure? I think the audience deserves at least that after wasting over an hour on this film.

I found the film disturbing because of it's truthfulness. I liked the acting the lead was a real average day father, man - struggling like us all with family, work , love and life....after losing one son already he wasn't going to lose his family after getting them back. If you look past the fact it isn't a big budget or a Hollywood red carpet film - your really warm to it and get drawn in. It's no way an action and I'd imagine distributors making that angle to sell but it is a art house dark drama. To actual ate this film from UK on a low budget and to film in the back streets of LA I have to applause the Producers.if more would do this we'd benefit from seeing more true movies...I have all that fx stuff so this was real to me...really much alike Prisoners...a lot like prisoners.....10/10 for creativity

After Watching Abducted I was speechless, This Movie really made me think that some one in my own family like my daughter who is very young , but could end up Abducted like this wow!! I was amazed how much action there was, I really wanted my two little kids to see but the violence might of been a bit too much for them. And of course the language. I would invite my friends to see this with me again< I absolutely enjoyed this flick, in a day an age where a lot of flicks these days simply SUCK!! but this one, THIS ONE WAS actually Absolutely Amazing. Visually this film had minimal special effects but just enough to keep the stunt men busy, The Shots seemed mind provoking , if the DP and the Director made all the decisions based on the writing they did a wonderful job visually telling this Action packed story
