a netflixer. Taylor Lautner's action flick. He's surrounded by a great cast - Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyquist (the original Bloomquist) and Lily Collins (who I'm really starting to like despite her Brooke Shield's eyebrows). They are all good. The premise is ok, somewhat preposterous but it's an action flick so who really cares about that? Taylor is a former martial arts tricker, and there's a teasing sparring scene which promises he'll bust out a good fight and inspire hordes of Twilight fans to take up the martial arts. But he never does. VERY DISAPPOINTING. He's horribly stiff as an actor with no range beyond taking off his shirt and showing off his abs. Maybe that's the ab in abduction. No sword fights beyond me wanted to stab myself in the eyes.
