Nice effects though.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Don't listen to the negative reviews

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

They must Have trawled the world to find so many poor actors,

I have read some way past comments and some present. Hence I decided to give my opinion. Some really are harsh trolls and I can't see for why. This is film making from actors and new producers and what a blinding first job they done. Someone else wrote about fx being crap. I didn't see any fx accept gun shits but not every film needs to be a Liam neeson high budget taken. It was a breath of fresh air watch a real film. Made by Londoners in London and Hollywood. A lot of bottle that takes and a lot of legality I'd imagine. I hope they do abducted 2 and do get more money as I reckon mark harris could do really well here. A good little film. Yes very violent so you have been warned. No wonder it's picked up so many film festival awards. .....

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

There's a whole lot of nonsense in the reviews for this film so far.So let me add mine! Oh boy! The film is definitely low budget, but that in and of itself is not a problem. The makers use their budget fairly well and do a lot of good things with it. The movie was easy to watch, the scenes were well shot with the camera. The music selected is also very appropriate from scene to scene.As far as the acting goes.. well some people would criticize it, but the reality is that not much acting was required of the cast. The roles were very static; you are either a good guy or bad guy, scared little girl or rational cop. In that light, the cast performed very well.The hero was really not the best actor, unfortunately. He appears to be bi-polar, as he leaps into dramatic emotional moments in the space of a few heartbeats. And some of his reactions to the tragedy that befalls his family are.. not believable at all. His real strength was punching his way through mobs of bad guys, which wasn't very well thought out. The fight scenes were rather blah.Or meh. If you prefer.The subject matter of the film (kidnapping, the child sex trade, forced prostitution and murder) is very deep material and deals with a world that most of us know nothing about. The actors attacked their roles with gusto, making for some believable bad guys. But the film fails to really pull you in. There are simply too many factors that destroy the illusion. Things that seem to defy common sense.. You find yourself saying, "If I was the bad guy, I wouldn't do that." In fact, most of the setup behind the baddies' operation seemed very out of place. Almost third world. Everything from their methodology to their holding places to their business methods.. It all seemed like it was sloppy and easy to break apart.. Like something the police could have handled easily years ago had they just been trying a little bit. Believability is the heart of movie making, and if the illusion is weak, all of the film's strong points become lost.Errors jump out at you. Things that a good editor should have caught. For instance, vicinity errors (when things aren't in the right place from scene to scene). Blood where there shouldn't be blood, or the hero's face having bruises and scratches when he received NO hits to the face in the scene previous. Things of that nature are generally easy to catch if you are watching carefully. The fact that these were left in film rather than being fixed is testament to the low budget constrictions, as there was probably not enough money to re-film scenes that needed fixing. But they do ruin the atmosphere a little.All in all, I wanted to like this film, but it's just very.. average.I applaud the makers though, I hope that they try again. I feel like they really have it in them to be great.
