Very disappointing...

Simply A Masterpiece

hyped garbage

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Screw off, this was the worst piece of crap have I ever seen. Terrible acting, pathetic plot, it was mediocre period. I think a video of a bird crapping would have been better. Screw all of you people defending this movie. Unfortunately, the lowest rating I could give to this movie was a 1 but I would have rated this movie a 0.1

not feeling well last night (sunday 31 Jan 2016) nothing interesting on TV, so thought a movie with nicholas cage, josh lucas and a few other well know actors would be fun. thankfully i did not see this atrocity when it was initially released in theatres for $15/ticket! it was mind boggling - where to begin? the story itself was ridiculous, the action was childish & cartoonish, all the actors were heavy handed and amateurish and after a while, i realized i was watching a developing train wreck. would love to know who the executive was that green-lighted this production, because he/she should no longer be anywhere near a position of responsibility in any way shape or form in the movie business, maybe producing commercials for TV. i honestly can't see how any of the actors could overcome this blemish on their resumes to even be considered for future roles. although i'm sure Hollywood, which lives in its own head, will continue making moronic movies such as this. so, to answer why i watched till the end? i love movies and was hoping that somehow this movie would turn around, but alas, it was just as stupid at the end as it was in the beginning!!!!

Story: How often have we seen a bank robbing team spilt up with one turning on the rest when a job goes bad? It's easy to create the basic tension between the characters, you add in the resilient cop and we get the basic three way battle, all out to outsmart each other. Having the kidnapped daughter involved makes the villain of the piece look even more villainous. Sounds basic and it is, don't expect any massive twists or turns just enjoy the story unfolding. (7/10)Actor ReviewNicolas Cage: Will the mastermind of the bank robbers who gets caught, fresh out of prison he wants to live a normal life but his old partner has other plans for him. Good performance from Cage, do what he needs to do without really excelling. (7/10)Josh Lucas: Vincent the twisted former partner of Will who has been through some hard times and even faked his own death biding his time until he can get his money from Will. Good villainous role that does enough to make himself worse than just an old friend out for revenge. (8/10)Danny Huston: Tim the FBI agent who has been tracking Will for years putting his own personal life at risk and just when he thinks he has him he loses out on catching him with the money. Typical FBI agent role, that uses his hat to try and making him look different. (7/10)Malin Akerman: Riley a member of the robbery team that gets away and has turned her life around to become more honest. She helps Will when he needs to resources of his old life to save his daughter. Good supporting role. (6/10)Sami Gayle: Alison Will's daughter who resents him after his time away who gets kidnapped and tries to outsmart her kidnapper. Simple 'Help' performance that offers nothing new. (6/10)Director Review: Simon West – Good direction to create a simple to watch thriller. (7/10)Action: Few car chases that look good but not as much action as you would expect. (7/10)Thriller: Good thriller that keeps you pulled in to see what will happen next. (8/10)Settings: New Orleans makes for a good setting showing off the carnivals there. (8/10)Suggestion: This is one for the thriller fans out there to enjoy, it could appeal to the more casual fans as well being easy to watch. (Thriller Fans Watch)Best Part: Will's robbery, just nonsense style.Worst Part: Where did they get the information to be ready at the start?Action Scene Of The Film: Will trying to escape the opening chase.Believability: No (0/10)Chances of Tears: No (0/10)Chances of Sequel: NoPost Credits Scene: NoOscar Chances: NoBox Office: $2 MillionBudget: $35 MillionRuntime: 1 Hour 35 MinutesTagline: 12 Hours. $10 Million. 1 Kidnapped Daughter.Overall: Enjoyable ThrillerCheck out more reviews on http://moviesreview101.com/

You've seen "Stolen" more times than you want to count. This time it stars Nicholas Cage and Josh Lucas.After being caught robbing a bank, Will Montgomery spends eight years in the slammer before being released on parole. He and his gang successfully robbed the bank, but as they're running for the getaway car, Will and one of his partners, Vincent, get into a fight after a janitor spots them. Vincent wants to kill him, and Will says no. As they're fighting, the police are crowding in, so the getaway truck takes off. Vincent is shot. Will takes off. Finally cornered, he takes the $10 million he stole and throws it into a trash can that's on fire.Now that he's out, the police are watching him because they're sure he's got the money. There's someone else who's sure he's got the money -- and he'll move heaven and earth or go the kidnapping route to get it.Lots of car chases and dazzling stunt driving in this short film, with good performances by Cage and Josh Lucas, whom I so liked in the TV series "The Firm." There's just not an awful lot to the film -- it's done by the numbers, but still manages to entertain. A good rental.
