Abducted is a 2007 film that is a perfect blend of mystery and crime genres. The movie revolves around a young mother named Jessica, portrayed by Sarah Wynter, who wakes up in a hospital after a car accident to discover that her eight-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. The investigation into the woman's daughter’s abduction is nuanced and complex, keeping the audience guessing from start to end. Although it starts as a standard police procedural, the movie quickly turns into a suspenseful thriller as the investigators uncover more evidence.

Jessica's husband, Tim, played by Andrew W. Walker, is a lawyer who immediately sets out on a personal investigation to save his daughter. He disregards the police’s protocol and chooses to do his sleuthing on his own. However, as the movie progresses, Tim finds himself caught up in an intricate web of lies and is forced to make a choice between sticking to the law’s letter or behaving as a vigilante.

The movie also features Eric Breker in a supporting role, as Sergeant Unger, a stubborn police officer who is convinced that Tim is not as innocent as he claims. As the investigation heats up and more suspects are brought in for questioning, the tension builds up among the characters, leading to some truly edge-of-the-seat moments.

As the case continues, more and more curious details emerge about Jessica's past, including the revelation that she has been through a previous trauma involving her ex-husband. Jessica's bad memories start to grip her with a force that she cannot ignore. The movie does a fantastic job of portraying the emotional and physical strains exerted on the woman in her quest to save her daughter.

Abducted is a superbly crafted thriller that doesn't succumb to one-dimensional characterizations or predictable resolutions. The movie offers an abundance of twists and turns as the protagonists navigate through numerous obstacles to find out the truth about the child's disappearance. The performances by the lead cast are excellent, and the pace of the movie is such that the audience is kept entranced until the very end.

One of the strengths of this film is that it does an excellent job of integrating various elements into the screenplay. The cinematography and the score complement the storyline and the characterization beautifully. The use of extreme close-ups and other cinematic tricks adds to the film's suspenseful tone and helps to maintain the intensity throughout the film.

The narrative also gives a clear view of the consequences of the actions taken by each character. Every decision has a consequence, and as the movie goes on, it becomes evident that the characters' actions will significantly impact the final outcome of the search for the missing girl. The film does a good job of placing the viewer in the shoes of the protagonists, making them experience the same torment and desperation as the characters in the movie.

Abducted is not without its imperfections, however. The movie does drag on a bit towards the end, which might leave audiences feeling like the storyline has lost its momentum. It would have been great if the movie's pace picked up instead of taking its foot off the pedal for an extended period towards the end.

However, the movie keeps you fully engaged, and the attention to detail is highly commendable. The movie's conclusion is a satisfying one, and it has a level of suspense that remains until the final credits roll. Overall, Abducted is a highly recommended movie that will leave you entertained and captivated.

Abducted is a 2007 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.7.
