Stolen Girl

Stolen Girl is an excellent drama, thriller starring Kate Beckinsale as Maureen, a mother who loses her daughter to kidnapping and goes on an 8 year mission to find her and bring her back.

It's a well told and well paced drama with some decent action and espionage to keep the stakes high and the plot rolling.

But ultimately it's a story about a mother who will risk everything to get her daughter back and the film does a fine job of portraying the emotional, political and ethical dilemmas surrounding why these kinds of events really do happen in the real world.

An exciting and moving story, excellently told. Highly recommended! :-)

I think it's a good movie, there are no over-the-top action scenes in which there is an unnatural amount of blood. The actors are also good. The events are moving. It's true that Kate's lip augmentation sometimes takes the focus off the film, but she plays her role wonderfully. Scott shouldn't be judged independently of his father, I like his performance.

Honestly, I don't even know what to write about Stolen Girl. The movie just didn't connect with me at all - emotionally, it felt empty. There was nothing special or memorable about it; the story moved without any real impact or engagement. It's one of those films you watch once and instantly forget. Overall, a very flat experience that fails to leave any impression.

This movie was not shot in the Middle East. It is the same stereotypical movies as always. One of the flaws, the Lebanese car license plates are dated way back to the 1970s (OK), and there was a scene in the movie dealing with a new print of $100 bills, which never existed in the 1970s. Good job editor; I don't know which school you went to. The Lebanese mother tongue language is way off and false. The fighting scenes are ridiculous and reminiscent of movies from the 1980s. Mediocre acting by all the actors. Terrible direction and editing. What a waste of time to watch it.

Hate to break it to the other reviewers, but Lebanon in the 90s and early 2000s did not look like the USA in the 1990s and early 2000s. If you're having trouble realizing when the movie actually takes place, look at the phones, the computer monitors, the CD players, the television sets. The movie isn't set in 2025. Also, lip injections are ALWAYS a bad idea.

Besides that, it's entertaining. Much better than The Thunderbolts.

10/10 is for Beckinsale, I'd give the movie a 7.5.
