The Abduction of Jennifer Grayson

It was slow, anticlimactic, and poorly executed. Bad acting. Poor camera crew. It was like a cheap made at home $100 movie. Would not recommend

Ok, a lot of people dissed this movie but I think James Duval was amazing in this film. He is a great actor. I watched because he drew me in.

I can't believe these reviews! I'm not one of the actors, I'm not the director and I'm not a friend of a friend. Just some guy who watches my Amazon fire TV a lot. (This was on tubi TV, amazingly awesome free app. It has big blockbusters and tv shows and everything).

Anyways, I have just about zero patience for bad movies. I will turn a movie off in the first 10 or 15 seconds. This movie kept my eyes on the screen and that's saying a lot because I was trying to research my hobby on my tablet. The young girl was a legit actress. Good as any. I looked at her profile here on IMDb and she only had two other movies, played an extra in both it looks like. And still, not even a tiny hint of bad acting. She's beautiful too. I'd be surprised if I never saw her again.

This James Duval guy is a very familiar face just don't know where from. Now his acting wasn't too bad but it wasn't as natural feeling as the girl. You know how Keanu Reeves comes off as really awkward but he's a good actor and keeps your attention, James Duval was exactly like Keanu Reeves here. But I'm sure I've seen him in much better movies where he was more relaxed. I mean he was playing a serial killer after all.

But I enjoyed it! I wanted to see what happened next and how it ended. You know how big hollywood movies sometimes have slow scenes with slow or no dialogue but it's good because the actors are interesting? This movie has a lot of scenes like that. It's not fast paced and the dialogue is slow but it keeps your eyes on the screen, so that's pretty good because when a bad movie has slow scenes it's unbearable. To me at least. I rely on IMDb reviews and ratings a lot. You can generally get a good idea if a movie is a total flop or not. But these people really missed the mark here. It's a fine movie. Yes I guess it's a b movie, never have known exactly what makes a movie a b movie but considering that it's a damn good movie.

First rule if you want to make a movie. GET PEOPLE THAT CAN ACT! Because without actors you just don't have a movie but a lamentable voyage into a director's career being flushed cleanly down the toilette along with the $$$$$ embossed toilette paper of the idiots that decide to finance this crap!

• however, this also far from bad.

The drawbacks on this film are:

the horrid soundtrack which keep playing non-stop - and the bad choice of music as well

the poor lighting

bad editing

bad voice syncing

lack of camera angles

lack of intenseity

lack of fear from the very beginning

A really good cast - a decent budget, some decent camera work, a far better sound track, some intense music which brings out the story and a little more thought put into this - as well as another rewrite or two on the script to bring it up a bit would have made this much more interesting.

This had a small budget and some close to new beginners for it's crew and cast - and while it's not horrid, it's not great either.

There is plenty of potential here - but is was passed on for something that is just watchable - but nothing special.

I easily would have developed this into a much tighter intense story - with some fear from the very beginning.

There was no fear or anxiety and there was no depth - and there should have been plenty.

Depth, some nice camera work, better editing and some intense mystery - as well as some mystery and a backing soundtrack that isn't nerve-racking would have made this into a really cool movie.

Even with the two leads, they weren't bad - but in the wrong hands with the low budget, they missed the opportunity to shine.
