Best movie ever!
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Nicholas Cage's performance was way over the top,not believable.his character was so inconsistent and out of control only an idiot junkie would have worked for him.the fake nose and hair were ridiculous.would not recommend this movie.John Cusack'scharacter was not maintained throughout the movie.It just stopped.It did have some points of interest.
I came all the way to IMDb to write a review because the film was very, very awful.SPOILER ALERT here! I can sum up just why it was so bad...A normal town has a kids video arcade, and through a door in the rear of the arcade is a grimy strip club where Cage sits, doing cocaine off a table. When he's not sitting there, he seems to always have someone to tie up and murder down a plastic lined hallway between the strip club and the arcade.2 brothers grow up nearby and use the arcade in their youth. The older brother, when in his teens, witnesses Cage murdering some random guy in this plastic lined hallway, and then he spends the entire rest of his life mingling with Cage apparently. The younger brother becomes a successful construction company owner. The whole entire movie is about Cage taking the older brother hostage in his plastic hallway, for a multi hundred thousand dollar ransom that he wants from the younger brother.The only reason I was able to give this a 1 out of 10 is for the notion that the brothers were still brothers, and the younger one of course goes on a manhunt to get his brother back. Despite being kind of a screw up, the older brother then learns to finally appreciate his family after his kidnapping.I didn't even think the cinematography was great. I hated the camera aggressively panning and zooming to make a guy driving his ford truck away from his house all the more dramatic. I found all of the display of blood spraying and blood splatter very unsettling.Someone who loves seeing blood would probably like this movie. That's the only artistic value this movie has.
This was one of the worst films I have seen in quite some time. Cage was so terrible. He over acted every scene. Adrian Grenier was good, and his performance was convincing. It was the best, and only good aspect of this film. Schaech was also good. But it was poorly directed, really bad writing, by the book editing, no surprises here. I feel really bad, that I wasted over an hour of my life, and fortunately, I was able to fast forward some of the film, as there was really nothing there. Do not bother. Cage will do any film with a paycheck attached, at this stage of his once glorious career. The man has talent. Too bad we so rarely get to see it these days.
Rivers of Blood Flowing in the Slowest of Motion Resulting in a High-Def Deluge of Jaw-Dropping, Gonzo, Grind-House Movie-Making.Unrestrained Ultra-Nuttiness from Nicolas Cage, Dressing and Made-Up like a Clown and giving a Freak-a-Zoid On-Screen "Performance" that cannot be Ignored. John Cusack, in one of His Patented Baseball Cap, Vape-Pipe Outings. It's all Whispering and Dreamlike, Detached from the Proceedings afraid to "Dip-a-Toe" for Fear of an Infectious Cesspool.The Two Brothers that the Story Wanders Around are Adrian Grenier and Johnathon Schaech. They Barely Register and are as White-Bread and Generic as Cage and Cusack are Wacky-Packs. The Allure in "Arsenal" is the Carnival Visuals and the Study of Bloody Body Parts, Crunching Bones, and Side-Show Antics.Worth a Watch for its Excesses and Peep-Show Salaciousness. All Involved seem to be Proud of its Pandering.
