Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

tcab This is a totally stupid and disgusting and cynical movie. Stupid because the plot is so childishly contrived and derivative you'd have to be a moron to believe it. Disgusting not for the ridiculously over-the-top violence and gore, or Nicholas Cage's terrible acting, but how it insults your intelligence. And derivative because it sets a new standard for use of clichés and crap we've seen a million times before. It is also disgusting that impressionable and ignorant kids might see this movie, which is one big lie about life, about the effects of beating and brutality on its victims, etc. It is pure sadism for the sake of sadism, and there is nothing else in this movie to redeem it. Miller is the ultimate cynical panderer to the lowest taste level. He should be drummed out of the business.

slcoolj66 I have to write one this that everyone is missing in the reviews.The make up!!! This really isn't a bad movie but don't expect anything more than a new movie with a plot. Very good effort from all the actors and Cage would had done a better job if he played his normal cocaine character in this movie. That and the blood wigs and very noticeable fake facial hair is what destroyed this movie. He was slightly to much in terms of acting and his costume design was ridiculous. That's all that's bad. Cage and make up on the cast. Perhaps say no to ridiculous make up guys when staring in movies. Have some dignity

nikola17 it's really noting special it's film i think it's more of time waster it's not much action in film there is some but not of all of it i thought the lead characters were eh it's like you don't care about The actor is mostly wasted is John Cusack he is not even in this film only for 5 minutes or more but they don't met up together noting like Con Air Nicholas Cage i don't blame him over he's not doing any good films anymore that's opportunity from the directors from him but he is doing it for paycheck i have seen Nicholas Cage as villain it's movie called Face/Off with John Travolta a lot more better but I LOVE Nicholas Cagefilms i am fan of The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, Snake Eyes great thriller Gone in 60 seconds, 8mm, Windtalkers, Lord of War, Ghost Rider 1&2, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, his last movie for me Drive angry but now i understand his paycheck that's all his their its not him choosing the films its him their only for check, his not really in film he is only in for 10 minutes or less he is not much of villain. i would say his Villain in Face/Off is a lot more better and Bad Lieutenant has better performance then this his looking as villain looks with hair and mustache is like 70s porn star. with terrible looking jeez i would say in Face/Off looking of cage is a lot more better. this film is SO wasting of your time there's not much like there is action shooting scenes but theirs no fighting or bit of it, there's no big explosions i thought the lead actor (Adrian Grenier) is eh weak actor hes like another Weak Version trying to be DJ Cotrona From dusk till dawn series i wish it could be him rather then lead Adria Grenier. Adria Grenier i think of him as lead is very weak actor in my opinion i really wish it could be someone else as lead a better actor like him i think hes not that great as main actor the characters you just don't care about they are all just eh noting the ending is eh. i like director hes good director the only movie i like his only film Extraction. but this didn't save it the director never saved any of his films they all flop. the plot Follows 2 brothers JP (Adrian Grenier)is younger brother and older brother who is pain in butt Mikey (Johnathon Schaech)Mikey met Eddie King (Nicolas Cage) lame way for his role hes crazy guy who loves cocaine who doesn't give a dam about anything his character is main villain who doesn't do much hes just going crazy with his 70s look porn star looking as the cold blooded killer that's also quite funny with his fake nose and mustache combo, his snickering and his dog-like growls, an interesting styling to this slight silly take to The King ofComedy. Mikey met Eddie since he was kid Eddie always gives them jobs and says them he says i raised you all that he Nicholas Cage character is lame but his performance is a lot more better then his character. Mikey character is ass too his younger brother JP hes not normal character to me his like bad guy. he didn't do good in Army he didn't do good at anything he always let everything down of their feelings because hes younger brother JP is married Lizzie (Lydia Hull) who worked with Steven C Miller few times but not all of his films. and his working with Eddie king for Longtime And They Kidnapped Brother because Eddie King needs money from JP has 3 days to get his money to get his brother back. here goes Sal(John Cusack)He Is Cop Helping JP John Cusack doesn't do anything in movie besides hitting guy Getting Answers He Is Not Villain but Nicholas Cage and John Cusack they don't met each in 3rd time in film its like Nicholas Cage and John Cusack did Con Air as Team then 15 years later another Trashed Frozen Ground John Cusack is villain they both met up then in this its like John Cusack at end of day hes their only for paycheck he wasn't even in it didn't do anything didn't EVEN DID A SCENE WITH NICHOLAS CAGE for 3rd time i am like jeezwhy is John Is Involved for oh wait silly paycheck thought he pay Nicholas in scene again for 3rd time didn't again. you have good Gore scenes movies with Gore works but it doesn't save it Because I Got Very Disappointed with film not because its gore but its story and lead actor and story and action was noting Special at all. Slow Motion when Nicholas Cage Punch's the guy in face blood slow Motion is cool i seen that in Sin city but still Movie Didn't Save it for me. Sal gets answers and find Eddie King goes around Investigation And Goes With JP to find his brother and find Eddie King who has been working for him in while but JP decides to move on with his life not working for Eddie So Mikey Ended Up Going on his life but i thought the characters the lead roles its like were they bad guys ? because JP and Mikey worked longtime with Eddie king sine they were kids. but so we follow these characters working with Eddie in years i thought these 2 guys were villains at start they don't look like good guys because hes brother is ass to JP since in there childhood i am like lead actors they are not Likable characters Or Charisma they don't have it in there characters, the lead characters were rubbish to me its really painful film

amirrunoron So. What can i say. If you like shaky camera work ANY time anyone moves. this is the film for you. Atmosphere. Grit. South. these are the three things that move this movie. I love John Cusak, and Nicholas cage. cage gets 10 minutes (maybe less) Cusak gets 5 minutes. "entourage guy" nice acting! all the rest is just, Meh.... Good movie to pass the time (1.5 speed on VLC) Some shots are WAY too long (kid walking in arcade????) but... making movies is hard......
