Stolen

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.

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.

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

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.

This is a mess&#59; plain and simple. Everything that happened in this movie was nuts and not in a good way.

Josh Lucas' performance is wildly entertaining and unhinged but it's not enough to make this dull 90 minute caper.

Aptly named, Stolen is the cinematic equivalent of a synonym, the same movie but different than Taken.

It's a little hokey, but who cares?

Stolen knows what type of movie it is and has resolutely low-ambitions, but it succeeds on its own terms as a fast, fun, B-grade piece of junk.

a diverting but predictable action movie.
