Rage (aka Tokarev) movie review: Nicolas Cage’s public mid-career crisis takes a pathetic turn

Thu, Jul 17, 2014

Sporadically hilariously awful, but mostly cheap, amateurish and so distasteful it borders on the vile. Poor Nicolas Cage and his foundering career.

An audacious coming-of-age tale unique in the history of cinema; deeply moving and beautifully authentic.
