An average movie

Posted : 9 years, 7 months ago on 15 October 2014 09:50

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I still have a weak spot for Nicolas Cage, I thought I might as well give it a try. Well, it was basically another really underwhelming action flick like so many others Cage has been making lately and it seems that the next station for him is the direct-to-dvd market like so many other guys like Wesley Snipes, Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme. I know the guy had apparently some major money issues (I have actually read some rather hilarious articles about it on the internet and it was in fact much more entertaining to read than watching this tedious flick) but how long is it gonna last before he finally makes again something really worthwhile? Coming back to our main feature, I actually do like heist movies but this one was just so generic, so pedestrian, I was just bored throughout the whole thing. I mean, they even used the old trick of the master thief who has to come back from retirement to perform one last job because one of his loved ones has been kidnapped. Seriously?!? They couldn't come up with something a little bit more original? To conclude, I think I'm being rather generous with my rating here, it is jut a really weak action flick and it is definitely not worth a look.

Stolen review

Posted : 11 years, 6 months ago on 28 October 2012 09:17

Almost two movies bascically revolving around same concept, Liam Neeson's daughter taken in TAKEN & Nicolas Cage daughter is STOLEN.

Nicolas Cage has to face the ordeal to save his loving daughter, who got kidnapped and he has 12 hours & the price tag is 10 million dollars.

Stolen‘s is movie in which Cage plays Will Montgomery, “America’s greatest bank robber”. He and his team is quite dexterous and knows all the taqctics how to befool the FBI on teir tails. The things were great till one robber got messed up, 01 of the team mate Vincent got shot & cage got arrested whrn the team abdonded him and has to face 8 years imprisonment.

After 8 years the vendetta started Cage’s daughter (Sami Gayle) is abducted by a vengeful village (Josh Lucas) and Will must rely on his skills to get her back with the help of former ally Riley (Malin Ackerman). Hot on his heels are a couple of inept FBI agents played by Danny Huston and Mark Valley. The result is a compact and frequently exciting 96 minutes of running around, car chases, dramatic escapes, near misses and Nic Cage being Nic Cage.
