Living a life of lies, Nathan (Taylor Lautner) has stumbled across a missing person's website and realized that somehow his parents are not who he thought they were. He always had a suspicion that his life was somehow off even though he lived the life of an average teenager. And now his suspicion becomes truth, and he is caught in a daze where he has minimal knowledge of what he must do to survive. An organization of assassins are out hunting him down because he is a 'highly valuable asset'. His existence will come to light, but only if he can remain unseen. But after a long jaunt around Pittsburgh. Nathan deems enough is enough, and he is bringing the fight to them.
This fight isn't going to be won with just Lautner's good looks. It will take a lot of athletic ability in running around the city, leaping out of cars, and sliding down awnings. Nathan's parkouring and experience with weaponry calls for a massive clash of action. There will be explosions, car chases, round house kicks, and long make out sessions. But there will also be the terrible acting ability of Taylor Lautner. And i dont think Sigourney Weaver will be able to help out this avatar.
The concept of the movie seems okay, but the trailer is really pumping this movie up way more than it should be. In the end we will be left with an average story with another youthful and attractive schmuck that can't sell the audience an authentic character. Lautner's baby face shouldn't be driving around in a BMW with a hand cannon. He should be hiding in a closet crying. He will always get the girl, but will never be a bad ass.
Coming to theaters this Friday, September 23 (USA).
