Stolen Reviews
Top CriticA leaden murder mystery with a clunky structure that swings back and forth between 1958 and 2008, Stolen wastes the talents of a reasonably good cast.

| Original Score: 2.5/5
Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but technically polished, with inspired performances and enough suspense that by the time Mr. Hamm found the redemption that freed him from his own demons, I was so wired I needed a Valium.

No one is able to make much of the disposable script, but Hamm is so limited by the period trappings that it seems as if he simply wandered onto the wrong set.

| Original Score: 2/4
Plays like a middling episode of Law & Order: SVU, drawn out an extra half-hour and embellished with pretentious literary and cinematic flourishes.
| Original Score: 2/5
Though generally ham-fisted, Stolen may appeal to Hamm's more die-hard fans.

| Original Score: 2/4
Anders Anderson's thriller struggles to intertwine the two mysteries and ends up doing justice to neither.

| Original Score: 2/5
In the lead-up to the inevitable connection, Anderson builds suspense around innumerable close-ups of telephone touchpads, liquids being spilled, [and] Lucas straining to be a credible hayseed.
A technically polished thriller marred by textbook filmmaking that grows increasingly dull as the plot wears on.
Two missing children stories are combined to less than compelling effect in this sluggish thriller.
