This movie is on Netflix. Pittsburgh is highlighted more than I've ever seen a movie.

There's a high school wrestling match between Hampton and Fox Chapel.

The city looks beautiful throughout ---- the architecture, bridges, rivers, hills, trees, etc.

My house is in that sorry movie for a frame or two. Pittsburgh did look great in it but wow was that poorly written and acted.

At least the main actor was nice to look at.

There were some nice shots of Pittsburgh, but I didn't particularly care for the movie. I thought the plot was over the top and generic.

Never saw it... and unfortunately never will due to the poor quality of the movie. I'll take "The Next Three Days" for a good/decent movie that showcases the cityscape extensively.

Abduction definitely made the Burgh shine bright, (not some drip drab Rust Belt City). Unfortunately the storyline was very "Teen" and full of "Eye Roll" obvious moments.

Sigourney Weaver House/Office on Mt Washington was KILLER with its view.

speaking of Burgh movies, I thought Jack Reacher could've done better incorporating the Burgh into the story more.

Tay Tay looks porcine. Or llamaesque. Something cloven-hooved.

Probably because he's a wolf in most of his other films.

It really was a terrible movie, but Pittsburgh looked fantastic.
