Rated R
Starring Nicolas Cage, Rachel Nichols, Danny Glover
Directed by Paco Cabezas
The Story:
Paul Maguire (Cage) is a former criminal who has lived the straight and narrow life for some time. However, when his daughter is kidnapped, and then turns up murdered, he assumes that members of the Russian mob have decided to come after him. So he rounds up his old buddies, and they search for his daughter's killer, using any means necessary.
Never heard of this one? It was originally titled "Tokarev".
Never heard of that one either?
You're not missing anyting.
Cage's latest direct-to-DVD affair (or at least it seems like it) is the worst yet.
Stolen was pretty good. The Frozen Ground had its moments. Seeking Justice was okay.
I watched this one, but the eyes pretty much glassed over by the halfway point.
Thankfully, I had homework to keep me occupied and I kept looking back up to see if the movie was getting any better.
Nope, just louder and more violent.
Your typical twists and turns as the body count rises.
Then, there's the big reveal of who really killed his daughter.
I was only half-paying attention, and I figured out the killer an hour earlier, and could have easily saved the lives of 30 extras.
:)
Available to stream on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: C-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Nah, the latest in a string of Cage's direct to DVD features is my least favorite of the bunch.
