Could an Abduction Beat the Warrior?

Alright let’s talk Abduction. I’m very sure that the fans will be totally psych. And many surprises in the movie with some of the most legendary actor and actresses in the movie. Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Maria Bello, Jason Isaac and Dermot Mulroney as the Hidden assassin father, many great name have lend a hand is this thriller, but essentially still a Taylor Lautner only film. So can Taylor carry the whole movie through? Somewhat to certain level, the answer is Yes. He’s charming, good looking, and totally fit for an action heroes role. The only concern is that either he is still too young or the acting is still too raw to improvise on the spot. There are certain scene that surely still need some improvement on. And the storyline still need some redefinition whether it should be just merely a teen-tween genre or a full blown action movie. I think and I believe that Taylor would love it to be the latter too. Though I know that the movie appeal to youngster, but I believe even adoring teenager also love to watch their idol in full blown mode than the scale back one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler Alert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So the story is a youngster find out that his family is not who they are, not even his own. And then they are killed when he answered an online missing person ad. And the chase start and the suspense continue. Not much of a suspense really when it’s reveal within the second quarter of the movie. So it is a great movie to features all of Taylor’s advantages as a valid action actor and it also fail to hide all his flaw brought forth from when he is in Lava boy.

As the Autumn starts, all so the beginning of a long long series of made for awards movie. finally the studio is rolling out some heavy hitting. Starting the season off with Warrior. 2 estrange brothers, fighting for different causes. 5 million dollars at stake, who will win. In the old format, this may easily becomes another Karate Kid. But the story is solid enough to portray and reflects really human essence in every scene. I know from the beginning it’ll be a contender for best movie this year. But will it takes on any best actor, I’m not sure that Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy did enough to secure that prize. I do think that they have a shot on Best Ensemble in SAG. And Nick Nolte did a fantastic job at tweaking his face into that sadness that resonates throughout the movie. So I believe a Best Supporting is half in the sack.

The Rocky, Fighter vibe of Warrior takes the fighting ring into the context and makes it about love and family are great theme to explore. Even the Cinematography may get one or two nod. So Oscar here we come.
