Taylor Lautner is probably best known for his role as the shirtless werewolf in the Twilight series. Definitely not for his role in the utterly dismissible Abduction. And most likely not for his role in Tracers.

Lautner stars as Cam, a bike messenger who owes some bad guys a lot of money. After accidentally bumping into the supersexy Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos), he joins up with her crew. Turns out they are bad guys as well that pull off heists, but at least they look cool doing it because they’re into parkour. Which apparently makes it okay.

Director Daniel Benmayor tries to make the most of the cliché-riddled story and succeeds up to a point by letting people run and jump around a lot. Anything other than that is hard to spot. It’s possible that it’s there, but the camera moves around a lot so you might miss it.
