'Stolen' boring and implausible

Simon West’s lumbering action thriller, which reunites the ‘Con Air’ director with grizzled leading man Nicolas Cage, intends to pickpocket 95 precious minutes of your life. Resist at all costs.

Following the lead of the hugely successful ‘Taken’, West’s film hangs its flimsy premise on the daredevil antics of a gung-ho father who will do anything to rescue his kidnapped daughter.
