Stolen

The plot is rather simple and not original, but chases during and within Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans are interesting to watch (here, adding the carnival does make sense, in most other movies it is just meant to confuse viewers and chasers). However, the "final end" could have been different, more sophisticated. Nicholas Cage is good as usual, but the real star (and best villain) of the movie is John Lucas - vicious inside and outside. Female characters tend to be sketchy, although actresses do their best. An OK movie for killing time, but it is neither Heat nor Snatch or similar. A typical Cage-related action.

Good movie!

Good movie!

Good movie!

Good movie!

Some afternoon when there is absolutely nothing else to watch you may decide to sit through this clumsy & terribly acted movie. The budget says it costs 35 million to make and I am sure that most of it went to Cage and it was misspent. Perhaps someone a little younger and hungrier to make a mark would have carried this flick, but Cage never does. His acting has become harder to watch and easier to attribute to a paycheck. Maybe lay off the island buying Nick and we may get a good movie out of you again. The director wastes a marvelous supporting cast by not pushing them to do better, instead we get mediocrity to match Cage's performance. I suppose there are worse movies out there but few take 35 million and a semi-star studded cast and throw it away. Skip paying for it, catch it on cable when everything else is a repeat

Clever scenario and well executed! All actors tried their best for this result!

We all know Nicolas Cage is broke but does that mean that every movie he appears in has to be a worthless piece of trash? Guggenheim and West are the best Hollywood cliché has to offer. Includes naive bank robberies, clumsy cops, making up to your daughter for 8 years in prison, exciting!!! car chases, your all-original public murders, "funny" characters with "funny" accents, never seen before mind-puzzling ruses, the final good guy - bad guy fight and of course the ultra-fast on-the- run investigation. This one even has a ultra-bad spooky villain who went to the dark side! Another thing that annoyed me is that it seems like half through the movie the writer and the director got bored and just gave it a whole new direction. Unfortunately it only made the whole movie look hasty and UNREAL! AVOID people!

Another day, another Dollar for Nick Cage as he reunites with 'Con Air' director Simon West.Cage plays Will Montgomery, a big time thief who is captured by the Feds pulling off a multi-million dollar bank heist, he burns the money to reduce his sentence, but one of his co-horts doesn't believe his story and wants his cut of the loot. Nick Cage um, is Nick Cage, bug eyed and slightly manic, the bad guy has six fingers and one leg (the character is a mad mix of the Family Guy's pirate and Bobcat Goldthwaite!) there's car chases and explosions as you would expect, 90 minutes of nonsense and instantly forgettable. Nick, bar Kick Ass your cv really is going down the tubes in the past few years....

Moronic. That is about all that can be said about this movie. Just plain moronic.
