Verdict on Abduction
Abduction is an action horror thriller following two men who find themselves taken to another dimension. However, they lose loved ones and race against time to figure out where they have been taken to. It leads them down a dangerous path and one they would never have been prepared for.
This is a movie that gets to show off the action skills of Scott Adkins and Andy Oh. While they shine in their side of the movie, it is the story that also interests. The idea that we are seeing dimensional beings kidnapping and not being controlled is great. While we could have gone even deeper into the world, it still presents a scary situation. This is above the typical late-night movies with a more interesting concept in place.
Final Thoughts –Abduction is a great concept above the typical late-night action treat.
