Stolen opens 29 November

Starring Nicolas Cage (known for his work in Ghost Rider; National Treasure), this film revolves around "12 hours, $10 million and 1 kidnapped daughter" and, rather expectedly, involves the protagonist robbing a bank and evading custody. The 96 minute film opens in Singapore cinemas two months later than its initial release in US, where it performed less than satisfactory in terms of box office revenue in September - though of comparable budget to Frankenweenie which was released in Singapore two weeks earlier.

Stolen opens in Singapore theatres on 29 November.
