This movie is about high school kids, in particular Nathan Price (Taylor Lautner) who sees a psychiatrist for his feelings of rage and anger. He likes this girl across the street named Karen (Lily Collins) but is afraid, or as he calls it "not ready" to ask her out.

During class, the teacher pairs them up to do a school project together. As they are researching the project on the internet, he finds a picture of himself when he was three years old on a missing children website. He discovers that his parents are not his real birth parents.

As he tries to figure out the truth about his identity, he realizes that the parents he is living with are hiding a secret and are in danger. Assassins arrive at his door and kill his parents in cold blood and blow up his house. Then Nathan takes Karen and they are on the run from the CIA and the assassins.

So the question is, does he ever find out what happened to his biological parents? You'll have to see the movie to find out.

Scenes were shot in Brownsville, Pa., Sutersville, Pa. and in Pittsburgh. John Singleton directed the movie. Shawn Christensen was the screenwriter. Alfred Molino, Maria Bello and Sigourney Weaver also star in the film.

Lots of action and suspense filled with surprising twists and turns throughout the movie. I happen to enjoy the action. The famous action director John Singleton did a good job. The movie lasts 1 hour and 46 minutes. It is rated PG-13.

OVERALL RATING: A-
