Tracers (2015)

A hard-up Johnny Utah wannabe falls in with a group of traceurs, those seriously uncool urban loiterers who prefer to leap up and over a car rather than simply stepping around it, and pretty soon the self-important bunch is applying its parkour prowess to increasingly dangerous but profitable "gigs", but the arrangement is uneasy - there is something sinister behind their ringleader's stony-faced Confucianism of the sort that appears on the movie poster: "It's not a crime if they can't catch you."

Abduction (2011)

Make it through the longwinded set-up in which the uncharismatic Taylor Lautner veeery slooowly discovers he was adopted in a government conspiracy and be rewarded with an equally longwinded chase in this dopey retelling of River Phoenix's dopey "Little Nikita" featuring government spies who use bunches of balloons to evade pursuers.
