For a cheaper made movie, I am very impressed! Thrilling and fairly fast Paced with a decent storyline.
Highly recommend
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
Suzanne is extremely wealthy and even more obnoxious. Unable to fly by private plane she is forced to travel on a commercial flight with the great unwashed, and even worse, to break her journey at Detroit due to bad weather. Unable to find a five star hotel, she ends up staying at a downmarket joint and is kidnapped almost by accident when she interrupts two Russian dudes who are beating up a woman; Suzanne thinks they are simply having "rough sex".
Her kidnappers are latter day white slavers - sex traffickers in modern parlance - and although she is too old to for their clients, when they realise who she is, they hold her to ransom instead.
"Layover" is probably best described as a comedy thriller, one that sees a spoilt little rich woman transformed into a decent human being by saving her fellow captives from a fate worse than death.

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.
02/03/2019 Crumb bum pretend actors including Lauren Holly. Fantasy abduction storyline about as lame as they can get. This is a terrible movie. Do NOT bother, find anything else. Bon Appetit
