Stolen Reviews

Though this isn't quite rock-bottom for Nicolas Cage, that's hardly saying much these days.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

The 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.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

Far more fun when it was called Taken.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

A film that feels too close to Liam Neeson's 2009-hit Taken for comfort ...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The hammy criminal leads chew the scenery, with only Huston delivering a remotely convincing performance.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

In addition to being built around a plot that unashamedly rips off 2008's Taken, it's a sloppily assembled example of slapdash filmmaking.

Full Review | Original Score: 1

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.

Full Review | Original Score: C

The film ends up being devoid of tension. They probably should have kept the bunny in the box.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

In Stolen, [Cage] steals away with nothing; he's simply stalled out.

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Unconscionably boring. The real act of theft here is of the ninety minutes the picture steals from your life.

Full Review | Original Score: D+

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Loud, predictable fun from Simon 'Con Air' West.
