“Abducted On Air” (** out of four) was a tame suspense thriller about a local news reporter (Kim Shaw) with aspirations of being a television star who is kidnapped on air and suddenly is thrust into the spotlight and becomes a media firestorm. Was this kidnapping real or was this something engineered to bring her more notoriety and coverage? Competently made and acted but lacking in suspense and scares that make these kinds of movies satisfying. Director Gus Van Sant told a similar story with much more comedic and satiric flair in 1995’s “To Die For.”
