I believe that anyone who’s had frustrating dealings with the revenue service of the United States government ought to be able to empathize his or her way into feeling a wisp of sympathy for actor Nicolas Cage. While we don’t have his own confirmation on this one way or another, it’s widely assumed that the tax troubles publicized five years ago motivated what’s seen as his current “anything for a paycheck” mode of working, which sees him starring in such schlock as a reboot of the "Left Behind" movies, themselves based on novels that, let’s be honest, are crackpot extrapolations on Christian beliefs that actually have no basis in scripture…well, let me not go there. Point is, he’s doing oodles of stuff that, according to conventional wisdom, no Best Actor Academy Award-winner would've ever allowed himself to be sullied by. (The conventional wisdom has clearly never heard of the movie "Inchon," but I digress. Look it up.)

Nicholas Cage, delivers his usual over the top (enjoyable though) performance! The story, cast, and cinematography are all good. I did enjoy it from start to finish and the icing on the cake was that one of my friend's Aubrey Peeples (from Sharknado, and Nashville) plays Nicholas Cage's daughter in the film. It takes place in New Orleans and has a Mystic River feel to it!

This is one of my favorite movies I would recommend it to anybody

We have all seen these type of movies where something happens to the main protagonist's close relative and he goes out and gets a little slice of action. The acting is not the best and the plot is so so. But if you want to see some action and Nicholas Cage's funny hair do. You will like Rage.

Cage plays a protective father who has been out of his criminal life since his wife passed away, and completely falls apart when his daughter (Caitlyn) goes missing, presumably kidnapped. Cage has to go back to his criminal lifestyle in order to solve the mystery of Caitlyn's disappearance. blah, blah, blah. I went into this movie thinking that it would be a Trespass-esque Cage movie with the ironic hilarity of Wicker Man, and I couldn't be more happy to be disappointed. Nicolas Cage pulls out all of the stops for Rage. His Cage-isms, as I call them, are still present, but they are within the context of his character losing his mind as a desperate father. Well done!
