January 8, 2014Sometimes I just get in the mood to watch a goofy Nicolas Cage movie. I watched Stolen without knowing anything about it, and yes it was pretty goofy, but it was also a lot of fun. Nicolas Cage stars as pretty much the greatest thief ever (even the law respects his work)... When one of his accomplices (Josh Lucas - who just so happens to have been in another movie called Stolen that came out in 2009) makes a mistake, Cage gets caught, but not before he gets rid of the $10 million he stole by burning it. Taking a reduced sentence because he didn't have the money when he was arrested, Cage spends the next 8 years in jail. Fast forward 8 years, and Nicolas Cage gets out and claims he is done being a thief. His daughter, who is now a teenager, gets kidnapped by Lucas who spent the last 8 years thinking about that $10 million dollars they lost. He tells Cage that unless he gets his money, he will kill his daughter. So Cage is forced to do what he does best with the police breathing down his neck at every turn. There was some pretty good action with car chases and shootouts and stuff like that, and I enjoyed watching it a lot more than I thought I would.
