“..we've got the aforementioned Sigourney Weaver as a psychiatrist and/or secret agent with a bouquet of balloons..”
by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]
“..they also can be achingly sweet and vulnerable and protective - and shirtless, when appropriate..”
by Glenn Whipp [Los Angeles Times]
“..the movie stops in its tracks long enough to ogle an extended smooch whose slurping seems scientifically calculated to take things to the brink of an R rating..”
by Stephen Holden [New York Times]
“..the direction is excellent, and that's the real puzzler in this tricky little game..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
“..preferable to the movie of the same name, but only if your kidnappers don't tor ture you by forcing you to watch it..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
“..made off with the plot and replaced it with a laughably predictable PG baby spy drama riddled with flat dialogue and aimed squarely at teen girls and their wallets..”
by Linda Barnard [Toronto Star]
“..looking very much like a stranger in his own performance..”
by Benjamin Mercer [Village Voice]
“..it feels like a movie designed to ride on the back of Twilight's phenomenal success, with held noses and paycheques all around..”
by Liam Lacey [Globe and Mail]

“..he's not a terrible actor, but if he wants a career after the Twilight fades, he'll pick better films..”
“..he's not a terrible actor, but if he wants a career after the Twilight fades, he'll pick better films..”
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly]
“..for a guy who alternately got to play crusader, hunk, and sidekick in his signature role, "Abduction'' is a stock gig, but Nyqvist makes the most of it..”
by Tom Russo [Boston Globe]
“..filled with laughable dialogue, Abduction goes nowhere..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
“..falls in the same corner of the youth market as the "Twilight" movies..”
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel]
“..but if you think he's hot and this is crazy, then he's here to party...”
by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News]
“..also features a fight on a train that may have been inspired by the classic one in From Russia with Love, but it's hard to tell..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
“..Abduction just seems silly from here through to the finale, a complicated set-piece staged at Pittsburgh's scenic PNC Park during an actual Pirates-Mets game last year..”
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter]
“..a haggardly slapdash "Bourne Identity" knockoff, never rising above the level of basic competence. Lautner's fans should line up in droves; other demos may go missing..”
by Andrew Barker [Variety]
