Stolen - #038

In 1997 Nicolas Cage and Simon West teamed up to make the first summer blockbuster action film to feature Nic as the leading man with Con Air, then a full 15 years later they teamed up again to make possibly the last with a critical and box office bomb. But does this film deserve the hate it got from critics and audiences alike? Yes, yeah it totally does. But join us anyway as we breakdown the 2012 action “thriller” Stolen. Fresh out of prison a former bank robber must reluctantly go back to a life of crime in order to come up with ten million dollars in 12 hours to save his daughter who has been kidnapped by his former partner. Stolen stars the love interest from Sweet Home Alabama, Kevin Costner’s younger self on Yellowstone, and star of Stolen 2009, yeah that’s right he was in two movies called Stolen less than three years apart Josh Lucas (who is just awful in this film), Swamp Thing from Con Air M.C. Gainey, legendary director John Huston’s son and Anjelica Huston’s half-brother Danny Huston, the Silk Specter from Watchman herself Swedish American actress Malin Akerman, Thomas Jane lookalike and that guy who was in an episode of that one show you saw Mark Valley, and of course, the greatest bank robber in American history according to this movie, Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
