This film follows Nathan/Stephen who is living the dream life in high school, except for having the perfect girlfriend. He gets assigned to work with his crush on a school assignment about missing children. He discovers his face in a list of missing persons, and sends in a reply hoping to get an answer. Everything begins to spiral out of control as Nathan learns that his life is a lie. He sets out to save his own life, and Karen's, and begins to learn the truth about his parents. 

This film was directed by John Singleton. Taylor Lautner is a film other than Twilight.... yay... This film was different the director in that it centered around a teenager instead of an adult. This is pretty much how the film felt. A film made more for fans of Lautner. The story is a teenage flick with some action in it. It is the first time a film about someone being abducted that ins't dramatic, or horror. The idea is good, and fairly original. It has a lot of potential just none of the heart that was needed to make this film great. The story itself presented Lautner as an angry child, and didn't allow enough time to see the emotional side of the character. This made it hard to feel sympathy for the character. A lot of camera angel's, and music cues, gave away the film's plot too early. The action was good. It stayed true to a teenager thrown into this type of situation.

This film had a unique group of actors. They had some decent chemistry together, but it often times got slightly cheesy. Taylor Lautner played the leading role of Nathan. Lautner was decent in this role, but there was some confusion that appeared on the screen. He's gotten used to playing Jacob that he doesn't how to play any other character. He can act, but he just needs more practice in varied roles. Lily Collins played the role of Karen. This is her third film to hit theaters. She's good in this role. Alfred Molina played the role of Burton. He was decent in his role, but it was hard to get a feel for his character.

I give this film a 2 out of 5 stars! It had a lot of potential, but the story failed to contain any heart.

Answer to last blog: Actor Liam Neeson and director Joe Carnahan also worked together on the film the A-Team (along with The Grey).
