Steineded How sad is this?
Michael Ledo This one had me scratching my head. It is an Asylum film, but didn't have the usual screw ups. It seemed like a Lifetime film then I found out this was a made for TV movie called "Layover." However using a picture of a pretty girl in a cage and calling it "Abduction" appeals to my perv factor, and that is what makes money.Suzanne Hollingsworth (Lauren Holly) is a rich luxury hotel owner is forced to stay in Detroit, a city she loathes. She happens to be in a room next to the proverbial Russian sex traders who abduct her. Rebecca (Kaylee DeFer), Suzanne's thrice fired kickboxing assistant springs into action. Add a few more girls to the mix, water down the story for TV, apply the abduction formula and presto you have a mediocre film where Lauren Holly visibly struggles with the poorly written role.Could we add a gay gut to this too? They are so in vogue. Maybe we could trash Detroit some more too. In a good way, it is better than most of Asylum films, but then that is not why we watch them.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Rated TV-14 for topical material. They could have at least had one of the girls in a cheerleader outfit. What did I do with my D.E.B.S. DVD
Jared Clinton This should be the type of movie you can get drunk and laugh at, but the acting is even too poor for that--so poor it's actually embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch. Wasted a full bottle of wine on this. The plot is thin and really absurd. It goes beyond the realm of suspending disbelief. Even for a made for TV movie it was just awful. It starts out quite boringly, and the "climax"--if you can call it that with a straight face--was just preposterous. I don't want to delve for those of you who might prefer to watch it, don't want to be a plot spoiler. But if you do watch it prepare to be disappointed and perhaps uncomfortable. It's kind of like watching a drunk, recently dumped chic make a complete fool of themselves at a party begging everyone for attention--you just feel embarrassed on their behalf.
camink_inc This movie shouldn't be discounted because of its source — Lifetime. The screenplay was well crafted and the character arcs were excellent… direction and photography well done, and the resolution was quite rewarding and clever. We are in an age were vice is a virtue, where you can almost always be assured there is not much difference between the protagonist and antagonist. In this film there was truly a difference. Virtue is oft considered a weak trait. But that is not true, it takes guts. In this film we have a nasty boss and a young assistant who is treated badly, but in spite of that her conscience, heart, wits and courage to go beyond her hurt feelings and proves to be the difference when most people would have walked away. The acting was good, and the characters believable, and the subject one that should not be ignored. If this were a major studio movie with a big budget it would be notable hit. I give it an 8 considering it's a low-budget made for TV movie. Bravo! (Viewed on NetFlix)
lori-marr I really enjoyed this movie. It has a great cast and a suspenseful plot, and I enjoyed the process that Rebecca went through to solve the mystery. Lauren Holly and Kaylee DeFer did a great job with their parts and it was great to see Joe Lando again, who also did a great job with his. He makes a great security guy and I'd love to see him in a movie with a bigger role.What keeps me from giving this movie a 10 is that there are a few places where believe-ability is stretched. Part of that is a couple of times where real time is shortened in order to keep things moving and I understand the reason for that. I've already watched this movie twice and will watch it again when it airs. I hope it becomes available on DVD soon.
