Rudi Liden has flashes, but it wobbles

Rudi Liden was the thing I kept watching in Alien Abduction (2014). There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
