Cast: Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Finally, Nicolas Cage has acted in a good movie. But this movie only got a limited release in US and then faded away mainly in part for poor marketing by a small production company. But, it's definitely worth a watch.
The whole movie is set in New Orleans, Louisiana, one of the unique cities you would come across in America. Nicolas Cage plays an English teacher whose wife gets raped and beaten by a rapist. While at the hospital, he is approached by a mysterious man who says he is part of an organization that takes care of bad guys and makes a deal with him that he would take care of the rapist in return for a small favor that he may ask in the future. Cage, agrees to the deal and soon after receives an envelope with a photo of the murdererd rapist.
Everything goes well for some time and then suddenly he is approached by the same guy that he made a deal with and is asked to kill another person who is yet another scumbag. Cage's life soon gets into a mess and he is chased by both the police for murder and by the organization to protect themselves. The rest of the movie is about how he manages to prove himself innocent.
