Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

timcurryis god Wow. Nicolas Cage plays a racist, bigoted scum in this film, with a script full of misogynistic, racist, patriarchal macho-man bullshit. Really no fun at all to watch; of course one of the first victims of Cage's character's manhunt for the people who kidnapped his daughter is a Black man who's obviously squatting w/ his girlfriend as junkies (so original, Hollywood; esp. since most drug users are we white people). Cage's character sends his previous life's gangster friends to harass, assault, terrorize them. Super gross. Stopped watching. Enough of this happens in real life; no fun watching white nationalist jerks in movies.

Ben Larson In my effort to see as many films of last years as I can, I come across a typical revenge film that is indicative of a Euripides tragedy. Reason giving was to passion as the protagonist attempts to avenge the death of his daughter.At the end, one thinks of Karma at work. The sins of the past being balanced in the future.But is is those sins that cause me to think throughout this movie. I see an Irish Catholic boy in Paul (Nicolas Cage) who presumably confessed his sins and received absolution, and who then went on to perform great works to put that sinful life behind him.But, I also see the stain of those sins remaining in his heart and soul. They never truly go away, and he reverts to his previous character and commits even greater sins as his passions consume him.Passion overcomes reason and causes Paul to reject those who love him, and to hurt his friends as well as his enemies.The sins of the father are visited upon the son, or in this case upon the daughter, played by Aubrey Peeples of Lake Mary, Florida, and a famed Sharknado actor.

johmil-18374 Not like the movie Taken at all. So its in no way a bad or a good copy of that movie. This movie is in some ways over the top and kind of silly, but also more realistic in its main story than most action (if you remove some of the characters and some of the action). Some of the characters act really bizarre, mostly Danny Glover, that cop character acts like its a cool revenge story ( I don't like what you do but if you wanna kill an army of guys go ahead I understand, a man gotta do what a man gotta do). To me the only message in this flick was the meaningless of violence. It masquerade itself to be a straight forward action movie in the two thirds of it and not really being that is the strength and the weakness of Tokarev.

Morning-star-1 Ex-mobster's daughter is kidnapped by tough guys. Lots of blood and guts, 100% predictable. Weird old gangsters with fake accents. Oh, forgot. Cage's wife looks younger than his daughter. Old mobsters talking about how tough they all are and how they were even tougher.... (the scene in the cemetery is enough to make you puke, not because its bloody (it ain't), but because it is so.... how should I say this: gauche. Is that bearded old wheelchair-bound mobster supposed to be Irish? This is for pimply 14 year-olds who have not yet developed critical faculties.Gratuitous violence... what puritans get off on, because they can't stand sex.I am still waiting for that Cage that was so good in Leaving Las Vegas, or 8 mm.
