***Spoiler Alert***
Why didn't the father disguise himself while on the run? You would think that with movies of this type, a man fleeing the law or criminal bent on catching him would cut or dye his hair, grow a beard, change his clothing style--even wear a hat from time to time to throw off pursuers? Loni Anderson changed her look in "Necessity" (1988) when running from her drug-dealer boyfriend who had ordered a hit on her.
Another plot flaw: in "Abducted: A Father's Love", in the gas station scene where the FBI agent is questioning the station owner, why didn't Larry Coaster simply stay behind the wall where he was already hiding out of sight? Instead, he foolishly panics and runs right past the FBI guy! Who would actually do that in real life?
Reminds me of the countless films I've see where a car is chasing a running person, and what does the runner do? He/she runs down the middle of the street! BAD IDEA! No, instead he/she doesn't think to jump toward the curb or leap for the nearest doorway or--better yet- -suddenly run in the opposite direction thereby forcing the car driver to awkwardly reverse. No, the runner stays on the road and either gets hit or shot or whatever. Arrgh!
