Piles on the foreign accents and paint-by-numbers brutality, all served up with a grim, operatic self-seriousness that gives Cage's antihero little room to maneuver.

Cage may not always be easy on the eyes, but at his best, you can't turn away from him, because you never really know what he'll do next. But here, the actor plays it drab and dour.

There isn't an original frame or line of dialogue in Rage.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 11, 2014

A dull, lifeless thing even in spite of its efforts, old-school grindhouse picture-style, to put an exploitation-nihilist spin on the dad-with-action-movie-skills-on-the-rampage boilerplate ...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 11, 2014

It's hard to say this is the worst film Nicolas Cage has ever made - there are just too many contenders to choose from. But it's near the bottom.

| Original Score: D | Jul 10, 2014

Rage is so full of clich, convention and just plain odd narrative choices that it can't get out of its own way.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 10, 2014

The latest in a parade of cheesy, derivative action-thrillers that erstwhile A-list actor Nicolas Cage has recently starred in, presumably as a quick cash grab.

| Jul 10, 2014

The hand-me-down showiness and sluggish storytelling by the director, Paco Cabezas, underline the monotony in this ordinary revenge thriller.

| Jul 10, 2014

This is unapologetically low-quality filmmaking, from the stiff screenplay to the crudely brutal fight scenes to the choppy editing.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 10, 2014

A shabby waste of time from beginning to end.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 10, 2014

Rage has knife fights, foot chases, car chases, point-blank shotgun blasts, and Peter Stormare as a wheelchair-bound Irish mobster-and somehow manages to make them all seem dull.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 9, 2014

A dopey mob thriller about an ex-killer turned real estate developer trying to find his daughter's murderers.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 9, 2014

Rage offers exactly what you think a Nic Cage movie called Rage would, except maybe for continually inspired lunacy.

| Jul 8, 2014

A heightened, cartoonishly violent tale of fatherly retribution that's totally implausible but nonetheless fun.

| Jul 7, 2014

Paco Cabezas's film is little more than a revenge relic pretending that the ethical treatise of David Cronenberg's A History of Violence never happened.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 7, 2014
