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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
In Stolen, [Cage] steals away with nothing; he's simply stalled out.
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.
