Avoiding links to the jubilee celebrations and all things royal, this weeks' Tuesday Night is Film Night, heads off into the realms of undercover espionage and double cross, with the gritty drama;
Abduction
So then, Abduction was not that bad, although at the start, it did seem to be any excuse to see Taylor Lautner with his shirt off.
Lautner plays Nathan, a so-it-would-seem ordinary high school kid, however he is soon to discover that he has a completely different past to the one that he knows.
Whilst working on a school project with friend and neighbour; Karen (Lily Collins), Nathan finds a missing persons website, with what looks to be a picture of Nathan when he was younger. Intrigued by this, he starts to delve deeper and contacts the website.
The site tries to obtain more information about Nathan but he smells a rat and speaks to his parents to ask if they are really his Mum and Dad.
Before they can explain the situation, two "cops" turn up at the house and several struggles later, both parents and both "cops" are dead and the house explodes, luckily Nathan and Karen escape.
Yes, it's a confusing start, but stay with it. It does get a lot better and you will be gripped.
It turns out that Nathan is the son of a CIA operative, who has some information that some foreign terrorists are after. Nathan is the key to getting this information. If they can get to the son, they can get the father.
It is all a bit confusing, but it is remarkably good. Some great performances from Lautner, in the lead role. Also, Alfred Molina who plays a slightly dodgy CIA agent and Sigourney Weaver, who is at first Nathan therapist, but turns out to be a good CIA agent.
If you can stick with the storyline Abduction is a really good drama. Slightly let down by a poor ending, but the journey to get there, is worth the ride.
