Nicolas Cage is the name and “Rage” is his game in a dopey mob thriller about an ex-killer turned real estate developer trying to find his daughter’s murderers.
Cage is typically overbearing, and improbably lethal, as a snarling tough guy busting the heads of any local villains who might have a clue what happened to his teen daughter (Aubrey Peeples). Together with his crew (Max Ryan, Michael McGrady), he retraces his connections to the underworld as blood spills. Then most of the movie turns out to be a red herring.
There’s nothing wrong with being a brainless B-movie, but this one is funless and lackluster, a grinding mess of pulp clichés with dull characters, perfunctory violence and dim plotting.
