Nick Cage walks into a crowded movie theater, holding a pistol to a
kitten's head, and says, ' I'm going to pass a collection basket around, give me all your valuables or the kitten gets it.' He fires is a warning shot in the air. When he gets the collection basket back, Nick notices someone put a copy of BANGKOK DANGEROUS in there.  So he shoots the kitten, but worry not, it wasn't a real cat, it was a prop from one of my movie reviews.

This story was an allegory; I'm saying Nick Cage steals your money because you pay to see the movies he stars in that don't have any real value. Most appropriately, the movie's named STOLEN.

I don't remember any of the plot details. Let me jog my memory by looking at the theatrical poster. 12 HOURS - $10 MILLION DOLLARS -1 DAUGHTER...STOLEN.
