Movie was bad. Started out hopeful. But by the end? The audience viewed it as an unintended comedy. Chalk it up to directing too:
When the parents are killed - it happens so fast that there's no sense of intensity or emotional reaction to it. It's "um, yeah, my parents are dead - who cares?" Which is really when it started to go down hill.
Taylor is an ok actor, if he wants a career beyond Twilight he needs to drop the poster boy **** and do something good. Abduction sounds terrible, he spends the movie running around in the latest designer mens wear and driving motorbikes with his gelled hair. It's too much ********.
I think Lautner's post Twilight action movie career will come to a halt after the critical and commercial performance of this movie. Maybe he'll get some "dramas" but thats about it
So I saw this the other night, Lautner is pretty much a charisma vortex and the plot is even more ludicrous than it seems from the trailer. The worst part is how he adapts so quickly from finding out he's not who he thinks he is, seeing his parents murdered and his whole life turned upside down, less than 24 hours later he thinks he's Jack Bauer and is laughing and making out with the extremely pretty Lilly Collins, who also seems remarkably unaffected by the fact she's now on the run from the CIA and shady Russian types.
The action isn't even very good which can save these kinds of films and the logic is left at the door. Weaver and Molina were really slumming it here.
