First I wanna say its nothing like taken. The only same thing is that the daughters are kidnapped. But in taken she got sold and Liam neeson had to fight with Mafia and stuff Stolen is completely different.
It´s a classic action movie. Its thrilling and we have action scenes from beginning to the end. I enjoyed watching alot, it makes sense why the movie was named medallion first.The movie doesnt take it self to serious for sure and is sometimes not 100 percent logical but its not trash or low budget. Its a typical Simon West movie, but lets face it you know any of his movies that suck? the second Expendables was much better under his direction. Everyone has his own charme so does this one. Nic does some good acting (what else did we except?) and its fun to see him fighting like he didnt do in a long time. And then theres Josh lucas as the villain. That dudes just crazy i dont know he has a weird way of acting. Malin akerman did a got job too and was superhot once again^^ I didnt realy like Nics daughter, just because i dont think that short hair is a good choice for most young girls... Anyway i can recommend for any Action movie fans who want to have some fun watching a movie and of course for every Nic fan out there. you´re not gonna get dissapointed, i promise.

I agree it is a great movie!! I aboslutely loved it and it was simply A-W-E-S-O-M-E! It is one of his best movies lately, even better than seeking justice, though I haven't seen it's end yet, but mainly the story and the way the movie is I like better. I even think I could consider this my favourite! And everyone acted great!
I can understand your point of view on the girls hair Flo, personally I don't like it either. But I do think it fits the movie, how much I think long hair would have looked better, short fits better. (Check the spoiler)
Spoiler
This because you have to see, she has 'lost' her dad at 7, wich obviously leads to psychological problems. Girls cutting of their hair or choosing for short hair (not always but definitly in this context) means that they don't really feel like a girl anymore, they don't feel pretty or comfortable anymore, wich here probably comes from the psychological problems. See?

I saw it. And I LOVED it. I found it on youtube and it had Hungarian subtitles, but the movies was in English. I thought I was going to have to wait until January when the DVD came out, but Christmas came early and I got to see it. It was fantastic. Here is the link for anyone who has not seen it yet. Enjoy.
I don't do online buying, Roxie so I will wait till I see it advertised at one of our stores here and get it then, sometimes I can pre-order from them but so far they aren't advertising it. I am sure the wait will be worth it!
My copy arrived yesterday, and I watched it last night! I was looking forward to see it and I wasn`t disappointed! It was another masterpiece, in my opinion! The stunt, the car-chases and the story itself were great and I can only agree with Royaltraveler: I just loved it!

Thank you for sharing your fab review. Glad to hear most of you enjoyed this movie a lot. I saw Seeking Justice in my class the other day, it's really an epic movie with capital E I think. As a being spoiled Nic fan, hope it won't take the rest chinese fans too long to spot another great movie.
NICe, Flo! That way, you have a better quality to enjoy the many NICtastic movies!
Indeed, Tues, it is an EpNIC movie (as every movie, our Sir NIcolas did and does)! Since I have the dvd, I saw SJ countless times! The last time, it was on monday-night!
