Arsenal Reviews
The only thing that is less convincing than Cage's prosthetic schnozz is the car crash of a plot.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2017
Nicolas Cage delivers one of his all too frequent cringe-making, extra-screamy, dial-a-psycho performances in this ultra-violent Southern noir.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 23, 2017
One to avoid.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 23, 2017
The combined charms of Nicolas Cage and John Cusack might just have been able to save this made-for-VOD thriller, but they are both left on the sidelines.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2017
"You could argue that, at this point, [Nicolas Cage] is to 21st-century VOD fare what Wings Hauser was to '80s direct-to-video quickies."

The rest of Arsenal is dull, so why wouldn't Nicolas Cage be, too? Arsenal will make you see red, but never intentionally.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 6, 2017
Despite solid acting (including John Cusack as a plainclothes detective), "Arsenal" is hobbled mainly by its director's histrionic tendencies.

2017 already has a viable contender for Worst Movie of the Year.
| Jan 5, 2017
Miller conducts an ongoing distraction campaign against his own movie, with explosions of gnarly gore and Nicolas Cage overacting.
| Original Score: C- | Jan 5, 2017
Miller has more affinity for buckets of blood and slo-mo violence than compelling reasons to care about the people actually bleeding, killing, and dying ...
| Jan 4, 2017
Miller orchestrates the final crescendo of bloodletting by indulging in a jokey, ultra-slow-motion ballet of shotgun pellets, spurting arteries and exploding skulls. He accomplishes what he set out to do, but it's all been done before.
| Jan 3, 2017
It's a misnomer to label the climax of Steven C. Miller's patently sick Arsenal an actual climax.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Jan 3, 2017
