Will (Nicolas Cage) is a master thief and the leader of a group which also includes Vincent (Josh Lucas) and Riley (Malin Ackerman) in magnificent New Orleans. Will, despite his profession, dotes on his young daughter Alison. One unhappy day, a major heist of the group is foiled by the FBI, with Will taking the fall for the others. Stupidly, Vincent rashly went against Will's orders and got himself seriously wounded in the leg, but gets away. Flash forward eight years and Will is just getting out of prison, determined to go straight. But, first, he tries to contact his loved ones. He finds Riley working in a bar, also leading the non-criminal lifestyle. But, Alison is not friendly and hops a cab when he tries to talk to her. Alas, it is the cab from HELL as a pegleg and embittered Vincent is kidnapping the young teen to make the money start flowing which he believes Will made of with alone. Can Will rescue his child? This ordinary thriller has a great cast and location which makes it come alive. Cage is great while Lucas is scary as the hideously changed bad guy. Do you like Cage and fine action films? Get Stolen!
