“The deep-rooted silliness makes it hard to take anything in the film seriously. But at least it has the decency never to ask us to.” Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly

“In Stolen, [Cage] steals away with nothing; he’s simply stalled out.” Stephanie Zacharek, NPR

“Unconscionably boring. The real act of theft here is of the ninety minutes the picture steals from your life.” Frank Swietek, One Guy’s Opinion

“Stolen begins at overdetermined, makes a pit stop at outright sadistic and winds up in the parking garage of ridiculous even for a movie of this sort.” Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies

“For all the heists, chases and shoot-outs, it’s a sluggish picture. Characters feel the need to stop the action to explain themselves. Thoroughly.” Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

“Cage is uncharacteristically muted. He seems to have given up on making art long ago; these days, all he wants to do is entertain, and with Stolen, he succeeds, albeit only on the guilty-pleasure level.” Nathan Rabin, AV Club
