The Abduction Club Audience Reviews

Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Ploydsge just watch it!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
A Laws The 'Abduction Club', you soon realize, is a group of young men who abduct the woman they wish to marry in order to charm them & propose.This unique storyline provides a captivating follow-up of events. And in a turn of fortune, leads you away from the predictable.It's a lot lighter than your average period drama, & quick moving, with a twist. The two main characters compliment each others roles to provide a comical duo, & keep you entertained until the end.I didn't know what to expect when i began watching, but was in for a pleasant surprise. Although parts were foreseeable, it was still an enjoyable film.
Philb-3 This film attempts to do an Irish version of the marvellous 'Plunkett and Macleane', but unfortunately fails miserably. It glamorises the historically accurate rape and kidnap of women by second sons who have need of keeping themselves in the style to which their fathers have brought them up. Quite who thought this would be a good topic for a film defeats me!None of the characters caught either my interest, attention or concern. The male leads were boorish, thick headed and lacking any kind of sense or intelligence at all. The female leads were vacuous bimbos with scarcely an original thought or utterance between them.The script and plot was inept, tired and thoroughly predictable. Editing was pedestrian at best. I'll grant that the backdrop was very attractive - it would have been a much better film if they'd simply filmed the locations without the cast intruding into the scene.This is a dreadful film - do not waste your time and money watching it.
mrdudekinns the idea behind the film is a good one at that, but the film isnt. an interesting premise is predictably translated with not even any enjoyable young cast unable to sell it. the film is below average which if trying something new would gain respect for being daring , but it was unorignal, never breathing life into an old tale. i would at least like to someone try something new even if they fail it would make a change!4
mozirajongo Handsome, penniless young guys with sparkling blue eyes :) Pretty, penniless ladies in frocks on horsebacks. Adventure, love, romance, comedy. The original score is very good. The plot is a bit predictable though. You know from the beginning that everyone will be happy in the end. And that is just fine.
