abduction 2019 movie review
B-grade film actor Scott Adkins brings his formidable martial arts skills to the retro sci-fi action movie "Kidnapping," which stars Quinn, a disoriented time traveler from the 1980s. When Quinn awakens in present-day Vietnam, he immediately begins to Hunting down the disingenuous aliens who imprisoned his daughter in the past, he is joined by Connor (Andy On), a mercenary who has also lost someone to aliens, and the surprisingly realistic but sympathetic Dr. Anna Pham (Trong Ngoc Anh).
Director Ernie Barbarash and writer Mike McClain aim to create an atmosphere similar to John Carpenter's classic '80s fantasy thriller They Live, where it is more concerned with knockout fight scenes than startling speculations about the true nature of reality, and in fact, The Kidnapping is not movie-quality. It's a bit gruesome, the plot only makes sense sporadically, and the special effects feel remarkably cheap, so it definitely won't be the highest-grossing movie in the world.
Kidnapping is a very basic martial arts movie with a sci-fi backstory and not really a horror movie, much of which appears to have been filmed in hotel rooms and basic office spaces in Vietnam. Special Effects, the only place this thing really shines is in the martial arts scenes, which also lack some refinement.
There are many loopholes in the story. What's in the movie? Is it science fiction? Or an action movie? Or horror movies from true stories, you can't decide while watching, I wanted explanations for many questions like what is the difference in a year for Scott and his daughter because they were the same age in 2018 as in 1987? What did foreigners want from men with special DNA, how did the Fengshui technique work? Why did man take the spider's device from the dead? How did Scott get there? And what happened to Andy On in the end I found a lot of confusion but no answers anywhere, just some great fight sequences from Scott Adkins and Andy On, but not so great, will give you some attention.
Overall Abduction is a good movie, with a story with great potential that can be great, a story of people from another dimension that is interesting but partly lost with a poor script and low budget, despite the flaws, it is entertaining and equipped The computer effects of the Abduction help to create Consistent picture, between this horror—which is much like the scary parts of the Russell T. Davis era Doctor Who has more martial arts, solid choreography and an interesting Adkins adventure outside of its usual—Abduction possesses a reasonable amount of fine balance, eclipsing the familiar character Excessive and unnecessary explanations.
