Stolen fails to steal the show…!

The movie begins with an amazing robbery scene where in Will Montgomery (Nicolas Cage) the most famous and wanted thief in town and his team Riley Simms – (Malin Åkerman), Vincent - (Josh Lucas) and Hoyt – (M.C. Gainey)   are set to sneak out 10 Million from a bank.

Will & Vincent after their successful robbery, on their escape, end up in a scuffle over a hostage which results in making Vincent handicapped for life time & Will getting caught and imprisoned by FBI  for 8 years.

Will after serving his sentence, returns to stay with his beloved daughter Alison (Sami Gayle) who refuses to accept him as her father. Will encounters Riley; in their casual discussion Riley reveals that Vincent is dead.

Cut-to, Will gets a ransom call from un unknown number stating Alison is kidnapped and she would be killed if Will does not arrange for 10 Millions in 12 hours. Finally story takes a turn when Will realizes the kidnapper is none other than Vincent who has faked his death.

Can Will arrange 10 million in 12 hours to save his daughter is the plot of the movie.

Coming to the movie, in spite of a predictable story line with many pot holes, the movie holds you in bits & pieces. All credit to Simon West for picturizing some amazing robbery scenes.

Crediting individually, the two characters that stood out are Nicolas Cage & Danny Huston. Nicolas Cage, ever dependable puts up his best foot and delivers his best both in action and dramatic scenes. A Scene where in he encounters his daughter for the first time truly stands out.

The secret pudding of the movie is Danny Huston, a strict FBI chief who just makes you laugh with his comic timing every time he is on screen.

All in all, Stolen is an average movie which can be watched for once.

Rating: 2/5
