The Abduction

I realize this is an old movie, but I really really really despise movies where they portray the woman as stupid, or making stupid decisions, or the ever so reliable scene of she falls down...repeatedly. Except this one runs through the entire house, outside, next door, and half way down the street with the phone in her hand and doesn't call 911. I think this could have been a good story line, but it lacked a lot of realistic scenes.

This movie touched my heart. It was a movie about a woman who gets tortured by her own abusive husband because he don't want to face the break up.What this movie tells us is probably happening everyday to lots of women. Most of the time they don't even get help from anybody and they are alone with this problem.For me its a real life movie and not some made up Hollywood story.Victoria Principal plays this abducted woman very real.

This was a really great movie. It was suspenceful and dramatic. But reviewers seem to overlook the fact that the young boy was stuck in the middle of everything that was going on. William Greenblatt played the young boy to perfection. In my opinion William Greenblatt was one of the most talented (and cutest) child actors ever. So, please watch this movie because it is good, but also watch it to see William Greenblatt's greatly underrater performance. You won't regret it.

Victoria Principal gives an excellent performance portraying a woman being stalked by her very disturbed ex-husband. Robert Hayes is at his best illustrating the lengths of someone who becomes obsessed with controlling another person. I shudder to think this is a reality for some women who are trapped in an unhealthy marriage. I recommend this movie highly and hope that anyone trying to escape from an abusive relationship will watch this film.

I reserve one-star ratings for movies that are so bad that I can't finish them. I finished this one. It was free, but I would never waste a penny on it.Typical Lifetime-type drama drama, with one dimensional characters, mediocre acting, and sometimes very corny and unrealistic dialogue (the fault of the writers, not the actors). Very clear-cut good vs. bad, with nothing in between. In this case, an evil, abusuve husband/ex-husband, and scared, abused wife. Nothing original or suspenseful.I know that it was "inspired by actual agents," but they seemed to take too much artistic license to make it realistic.

I've seen a couple of movies of this genre and this one was one of the better. How a "crazed" cop can't let his successful working wife "go" and difficult it was for her to get the law inforcement to help her because he was a cop. Based on a true story.

So very helpless. Pitiful. I know people this helpless do exist. I had trouble watching it because a shotgun would have solved her problem. What was left of him should have decorated her walls. She lost her marbles with fear. Didn't even dial 911 with a phone in her hand - pitiful. She was too old for the part. She was 46 and the youngest daughter was about 4. The flashbacks got very boring. The children were way and above the best actors.

This is a "B" movie at best. Victoria Principal should concentrate on her line of women's make up or..... prey for a resurgence of the Dallas TV program.

Enjoyed this film. Victoria principal looks amazing .

Bit predictable, not the best fim

hassle free transaction.no spoilers.Loads of people will like this. Its a typical afternoon movie for people of a certain age/class/disposition. There are many women not in any of those categories who will agree it is pap of the first order. there are even few men who would say 'ooh what an intriguing film I'll give that a watch this afty'.Its a tired old dog this genre. let it go.Few or no redeeming features considering the cast. Money really does talk and to these actors it says 'hey do 6 weeks work(?) and get a boatload of money' - I'm just jealous because I wish I could get that deal.In reality there are a thousand films identical to this. change a few of the 'stars' and hey that movie already exists.nothing new.ACID TEST: would I buy it again/recommend - no

tipico film per la tv con interprete una allora in voga victoria principal. thriller comunque prevedibile. non si discosta da una pura normalità

It was ok, something to watch over the holidays other than Christmas shows.
