Review of Abduction

Abduction (1975)
3/10
Not a bad drama with a political side
20 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Radicals kidnap the daughter of a rich political figure in hopes of blackmailing him into stopping the corruption and over running of their cities with profitable business wagers that do not benefit the poor. They rape the girl and send videos to the father in hopes to persuade him, but eventually the girl becomes involved in their movement and doesn't want to leave.

I have heard that this movie was based on real events, I didn't research to find out. I know its full of sex and nudity and rape and lesbian scenes and it was rather intense in ways, especially with the girl changing and wanting to stay with them. Joseph Zito directed and the direction was pretty plain, he would go on to do such great slashers as The Prowler and Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter as well as action flicks like Invasion U.S.A. with Chuck Norris and Red Scorpion with Dolph Rudgren. Most of the actors were people I don't know including the lead actress Patricia played wonderfully by Judith Marie Bergan.

This movie was a good intense thriller/ drama, but was low on violence and shock, other than rape and even that was not done in too hardcore of a manner. My problem was that it was slow, repetitive and not too exciting. I gave it 3/10 stars
