Who is the dad in abduction

The pair is also hunted by the CIA. The action sequences are done well enough to have a successful action film there has to be a coherent and gratifying plot. That is where this film falls short. The plot is wholly and completely contrived, existing only to showcase Lautner as an action hero.

Besides being completely predictable, numerous plot holes make it painfully obvious that not much thought went into the script. The audience never fully understands why Nathan was put in a protection program, or what happened to his mother, or why he can never see his father. None of this is helped by the fact that all the characters are completely one-dimensional and utilitarian. There are allusions to Nathan and Karen being childhood friends, but is never expanded on, which might have helped make their love story more meaningful.

The film is too focused on the action to develop the characters much at all. Doctor uncredited K.
