Abduction keeps its focus on action and teen thrills rather than political statements. While the performances and story get some criticism for quality, there’s little evidence that characters are shoehorned in to tick diversity boxes or to serve an ideological purpose. Casting appears mostly merit-based, sticking with genre trends rather than activism.

The film doesn’t spend time critiquing religion, masculinity, or traditional family roles. In fact, it emphasizes family mystery and a father-son dynamic. There's no attempt to undermine cultural traditions or revise history, honestly, it sticks to generic action tropes instead of chasing modern political points.

There’s no discernible ideological monoculture on display. Viewers would be hard-pressed to find any characters endlessly lecturing about the latest buzzwords, nor are dissenting views unfairly caricatured. The story revolves around personal survival and family rather than ideological battles.
