Gedemütigt in Ketten - Nackt und hilflos

The idea for Abducted aka Layover intrigued me and I like thrillers. I was dubious though because it was from The Asylum, who have a notoriety for bad movies. But I am glad I saw Layover because while not a great movie it was a good one. Maybe the pace could have been tighter,for me some of the middle dragged a little. The dialogue, while leagues above the dialogue for many other Asylum movies having some tension and focus, could have done with being less cheesy and predictable in places. And the movie did stretch believability a bit, not as frequently or blatantly as other Asylum efforts, but I just couldn't buy somebody being rewarded when their conduct was so incompetent. Layover does look good though, the settings and lighting are more accomplished and the camera work and editing better placed and smoother. The music and sound effects are well suited to the atmosphere without being too obtrusive or obvious. The story is not much new and but not too predictable or derivative, overall it is gripping with a suspenseful atmosphere and a fun twist. The characters didn't annoy me and served a purpose, while the direction is solid enough. And Layover is easily the best-acted Asylum movie to date and that is saying a lot. Lauren Holly is a strong lead and Kaylee DeFer is charismatic and has some great comedic chops. Joe Lando is good too if deserving of a bigger role. Overall, a surprisingly good movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I don't know any girls on the planet who would fall for the idea of being flown overseas to be in a modelling contest and not be suspicious when they are LOCKED in a filthy old building!! Who wrote this rubbish??? My advice is don't drink or do drugs when you're writing scripts and at least give your characters some level of intelligence, it makes them slightly more believable.

This movie is called "Abducted" on Amazon Video.

The photo used to promote this movie - of an attractive, scantily-clad young woman sitting behind rusty prison bars - has no relevance to anything that happens in it. Is the woman in that photo even in the movie? Don't be tricked by the false advertising into thinking this movie is going to be sexier than it is!

Apart from that . . . I had difficulty in suspending my disbelief at several points while watching this. So many of the characters act in unbelievably stupid ways.

However, I've seen worse movies, and I did watch it all the way through to the end, so I'll give it 2 /10.

For a cheaper made movie, I am very impressed! Thrilling and fairly fast Paced with a decent storyline. Highly recommend

Yes I will give it a 6 as which in my rating system is not to bad for a low budget direct to TV movie. Many big budget glitzy Hollywood move don't get a six in my world. Layover is worth of a watch if you're bored, yes it has a corny plot with B grade acting from B grade actors with B grade cinematography and B grade sets but worth the watch, remember only if you're bored.
