Review of Rage

Rage (2014)
1/10
The best bit was when I fell asleep
22 May 2014
In all honesty giving this a 1 is too generous.

I watched this as Nic Cage was in it, sort of expecting it to be a bit like the Liam Neeson "Taken" (IMDB rating 7.9, and lets face it films like this always get downgraded as they appeal to the great unwashed, so I would give it a clear 8). However imagine my surprise when I got a trashy TV movie.

Nic who in this film has surprisingly dark hair provides a disappointing performance in a sea of drowning fellow actors, script writers and direction. Either Nic for some reason has become desperate for any part or he is doing someone a big favour on this one.

There really are no redeeming aspects of this dire film. My strong advice to the director would be to re cut it to no more than 30 seconds with no credits. No way can this film be saved but at least the pain would not last so long.

Nic your a "National Treasure" (6.9), "Lord of War" (7.6) your best ever, "The Cotton Club" (worth a lot more than 6.5), "Capt Correlli's Mandolin (desperately and a disgraceful 5.9, worth at least 7.5), and of course your best ever "Con Air" (worth at least another point over the 6.8), please read the script before you take on any more trash like this one. Plus man your getting old ditch the hair dye, it really don't work for you.
