Stolen begins at overdetermined, makes a pit stop at outright sadistic and winds up in the parking garage of ridiculous even for a movie of this sort.
Top CriticThe deep-rooted silliness makes it hard to take anything in the film seriously. But at least it has the decency never to ask us to.
In Stolen, [Cage] steals away with nothing; he's simply stalled out.
The hammy criminal leads chew the scenery, with only Huston delivering a remotely convincing performance.
The film ends up being devoid of tension. They probably should have kept the bunny in the box.
A film that feels too close to Liam Neeson's 2009-hit Taken for comfort ...
Though this isn't quite rock-bottom for Nicolas Cage, that's hardly saying much these days.
Far more fun when it was called Taken.
Loud, predictable fun from Simon 'Con Air' West.
Though entirely derivative and undercooked, Stolen nonetheless proves a proficient "Cager" and suitable excuse for wasting half an afternoon.
In addition to being built around a plot that unashamedly rips off 2008's Taken, it's a sloppily assembled example of slapdash filmmaking.
Stolen is junk but it's intermittently amusing junk, best when locked in demolition derby mode, while Cage attempts to jazz up the acting by swallowing his sighs to the best of his ability.
From the plot to relationships to visuals, no one single aspect stands out as a genre breaking moment, but through fun-focused delivery, West is able to succinctly create a thrilling watch.
Unconscionably boring. The real act of theft here is of the ninety minutes the picture steals from your life.
For all the heists, chases and shoot-outs, it's a sluggish picture. Characters feel the need to stop the action to explain themselves. Thoroughly.
Cage is uncharacteristically muted. He seems to have given up on making art long ago; these days, all he wants to do is entertain, and with Stolen, he succeeds, albeit only on the guilty-pleasure level.
