Stolen plots


Stolen Lives (2010)

Also known as just “Stolen” this film from director Anders Anderson stars Josh Lucas, Jon Hamm, Rhona Mitra and James Van Der Beek. A police detective tries to solve the disappearance of his own son 8 years ago and the murder of a child 50 years ago.

This film does have it's problems in terms of weak make up for ageing one of the actors 50 years as well as relying on a fair amount of coincidence for the plot and not ever really explaining the motivations of the killer. The film is pretty average for it's genre but lacks any real polish of execution to have any depth, coming in at only 90 minutes long the film probably could have done with another half an hour to flesh things out properly.

2/5
