    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    It's a toss-up as to what's the worse sin in this graceless piece of tragedy porn.

    Los Angeles Times

    A leaden murder mystery with a clunky structure that swings back and forth between 1958 and 2008, Stolen wastes the talents of a reasonably good cast.

    Village Voice Melissa Anderson

    It's uncertain whether or not Taranto and debuting helmer Anders Anderson looked at the "Law & Order: SVU" and "Cold Case" episodes that also used the crime as a plot thread; the sub-televisual incompetence of their film suggests not.

    Variety

    A technically polished thriller marred by textbook filmmaking that grows increasingly dull as the plot wears on.

    The New York Times Stephen Holden

    Plays like a middling episode of "Law & Order: SVU," drawn out an extra half-hour and embellished with pretentious literary and cinematic flourishes.

    The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

    Hamm is unable to do much with his underwritten role, and the present-day sequences don't really hold interest.

Good Story..... by lovestalentmoviefan
....and the only reason I am not saying 'must go' is because it is too slow moving for the average movie goer to be happy they spent the money. Wouldn't have known about this movie if it wasn't for Fandango,and I don't know why. This was an intelligent mystery with compelling characters and cohesiveness in the final product,even with the two different decades. Nothing offensive,totally believable and just right performances-subtle and realistic. No upstaging,no frills and nothing gratuitous. I recommend highly if you are ok with straight forward drama.
