Observer
Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but technically polished, with inspired performances and enough suspense that by the time Mr. Hamm found the redemption that freed him from his own demons, I was so wired I needed a Valium. - 50
The A.V. Club
Stolen is mildly engaging, inasmuch as it poses a riddle and makes the audience wait for the answer, in the classic mystery mode. - 50
New York Post
James Van Der Beek plays the same suspect over a 50-year period, sporting some of the worst old-age makeup in memory in the present-day sequences. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Hamm is unable to do much with his underwritten role, and the present-day sequences don't really hold interest. - 40
Variety
A technically polished thriller marred by textbook filmmaking that grows increasingly dull as the plot wears on. - 40
Time Out
Stolen’s major flaws result from writer Glenn Taranto’s screenplay, which keeps piling on plot twists at the expense of anything resembling character development. - 40
The New York Times
Plays like a middling episode of “Law & Order: SVU,” drawn out an extra half-hour and embellished with pretentious literary and cinematic flourishes. - 40
New York Daily News
No one is able to make much of the disposable script, but Hamm is so limited by the period trappings that it seems as if he simply wandered onto the wrong set.
