Review of Rage (2014) by Dann M — 12 Sep 2014
Nicolas Cage stars in the revenge thriller Rage. After his 16-year-old daughter is kidnapped and murdered former mobster Paul Maguire reaches out to his old crew to help him find and kill those responsible.
Rachel Nichols, Danny Glover, and Peter Stormare co-star and deliver strong performances. But this is Cage's film to make or break, and his performance is especial good and quite nuanced; showing the weight of a man haunted by his past.
The plot is pretty formulaic for the most part, but it does do an impressive job at showing the cycle of violence and its costs. While limited by the material, Rage ends up being a little better than the standard action film.
