This movie was an absolute waste of 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Don't waste your time on it. Boring, drags on and on and on with very little story. Loser of a movie for Nicholas Cage. He is not aging well and needs to stay out of action movies. I use the term 'action movie' loosely in this description.Watch something better. Perhaps an old Bruce Willis movie or Conair.

I had a movie night with my wife last night and although neither she nor I like Nick did we made a valiant effort. Perhaps hoping that other actors would enhance the film... But no this is not a good movie on any level.It is never clear to me what Danny Glover or Peter Stormare characters are like and what drives them to take the (very) small actions that they do. And the wife should jump forward in time to join her real family because here she doesn't fit ;)When the carchase began, I had to pause and comfort my wife who now had started to sob because of how the intelligence of viewers was abused. At the end it is interesting how this movie seems to, on some levels, speak against violence and on the other obviously uses the overall bad action with loads of killings and torture for profit. I suspect the script writer intended something clever but it never got thru in this movie (or maybee even the script).I can recommend this film as a good example of how you can fail miserably.

I have always given Nick Cage a little rope in my appraisals because, despite his truly and consistently diabolical acting, he has commonly appeared in movies that I and/or my companions could take something positive away from. Con Air is oft quoted as a centrepiece in the ongoing "Nick Cage can't act" dialogue and, to be fair, his acting in said movie is shockingly terrible ... BUT the movie is entertaining and thanks John Malkovich et al.Rage, however, may be the straw that broke a certain camels back. This is a movie that is utterly horrible on every level and doesn't even have the decency to laugh at itself. Cage is scarily terrible from beginning to end and I only watched to the end because I couldn't believe that the movie would be so stupefyingly bad all the way through. Sadly,I was wrong.Zero stars.

I was hoping for some good old classic criminals-messing-with-the-wrong-guy rather violent action movie when I sat down to watch this one. I was indeed expecting it to be a B-movie but being a B-movie does not necessarily make it a bad movie. Well I was right about it being a B-movie and it was indeed rather violent but for the rest it did not turn out to be exactly what I hoped for.Paul and his buddies does indeed start to crack down on the less desirable elements of society. This they do using the well-known strategy of applying a healthy dose of violence and if that does not work then you use more violence. In general the movie starts off fairly well but as we ride along it starts to degenerate into silly outbreaks of rage. I know the movie is called Rage (as well as Tokarev) but I was expecting the rage to be directed towards the bad guys and not just senseless shouting into the air. The further we go the more it degenerates. There is the classical cops-who-intervene-and-let-the-bad-guys-get-away stuff. Very annoying. The stupid screw-up of Danny and Paul's way of handling it was also a bit of a downer.Still, the movie was not all that bad until we reached the end. Well, the end does have a twist to it that has to be said. It also had to be said that I did not like it at all. Even if I could have gotten over the twist itself, the actions of Paul afterwards and the final scenes really sunk the movie for me.Nicolas Cage did not do a bad performance but, as far as I am concerned, he was given a less than stellar script to work with. Technically I would say that this was on the upper half of the scale for B-movies but the story, especially the ending, was not my cup of tea.
