Abduction

I like Scott Adkins, pretty on par with any B-list Bruce Willis, Vinnie Jones or Jason Statham film. Entertaining, doesn't need a second watch, Average movie experience and time well spent. I do like his movies and most are actually pretty decent.

With my recent interest in B-list films grows I keep finding good films that likely will ever get any attention unless searched for. As an avid film and show watcher I am always looking for something that may peek my interest, mainly because I have seen pretty much everything else. I am on a search for good, less than know films that will still bring entertainment. Because they deserve to be seen as well and get noticed.

Until Next Time B-Lister Reviews.

From the trailer looked like an action movie however in reality it is not clear what this movie actually is. The storyline is confused to say the least and till the end you are waiting for it to make sense but... You wait for nothing.

The acting is laughable but not in a good way, none of the actors pass the mark

I am trying to find somwthing positive to say but i just cant find a single reason to recommend this movie. Please watch something else

I gave this movie a 7. It had some good fight sequences and the overall production values were good. Looking at the executive producer and financing list I don't think its really aimed at a western audience but rather chinese and vietnamese audiences. Its sort of a hash of eastern mysticism/scifi/martial arts. So I can understand some of the low scores although they are not really warranted - nothing in this movie was a "2" and if you want to see a 2 score movie I can point the way to plenty.

Anyways it has a discernable plot, it flows forward with no obvious continuity errors, has a reasonable budget for cgi and special effects, and has some good martial arts sequences. Its not going to win any awards but if you like an action movie with a touch of scifi to it and have exhausted all the tier 1 and 2 level movies then this is an ok stop.

Let's face it, we don't expect much from these type of B-grade action flicks, but oddly enough I enjoyed the martial-arts-meets-sci-fi cross-genre. Sure the plot had issues (e.g. why the stutter? comedy? fail), and the screenplay was amateurish writing to go with the sub-par directing, but the fight choreography and story premise was enjoyable and thus a 6/10 from me.

First off I'd like to start by saying I'm huge Scott Adkins fan. With that said my rating is slightly biased because if he wasn't in this movie I would of rated it lower.

Overall this movie is ok. The premise is incredibly silly, the action is sub-par, and the acting was mediocre. However it does good job of keeping you engaged enough to want to know what happens.

The second half is miles better then first half which is utterly confusing and nonsensical. But sadly even that is short lived, once you get to ending you'll see yourself scratching your head saying why?

Please also keep in mind as forewarning this movie is sci-fi. Despite the cover art and description reflecting more of action oriented movie. Don't be fooled like I was.
