This needlessly violent crime thriller is an assault on the eyes. A retina-scalding palette of toxic orange and teal blue, combined with numerous ultra-slow-motion shots of spurting blood makes for a migraine in movie form. Adrian Grenier plays the upstanding businessman who must save his deadbeat older brother (Johnathon Schaech) from kidnappers.
Nicolas Cage, wearing a fake nose and a nylon wig and looking like a cross between Toni Erdmann and a homicidal mariachi band, plays the local crime boss. The only thing that is less convincing that Cage’s prosthetic schnozz is the car crash of a plot.
