DON'T WATCH! Idk how anyone can say this movie is any good. A pointless complete waste of time like the past several movies of his this year adnd last year. Hollywood doesn't seem to know to make good movies or is this part of some kind of conspiracy to make people insane?! It don't make sense!

I don't care what anyone says, I am a big Nicolas Cage fan. I liked the movie. I think it's worth the watch. He still got the touch. Good for him

I ended up skipping through the last half of the movie it was so bad. Don't waste your time on this 1¾ hour poor adaptation of theme of The Count of Monte Christo. The plot holes keep coming one after another. He gets let out of prison early because he has a mysterious fatal illness that causes insomnia. The prison releases him to a taxi where he rings up a $175 tab to go to dig up his treasure. He then goes to stay in a luxury hotel where he pays cash. He wanders around carrying a oversized dufflebag with a few hundred grand in cash and some machine guns. It goes downhill from there. This is a spoiler, but you'll thank me for it. The son, Joey, is an hallucination. He was a junkie who died a long time ago, and is the main reason for the revenge. By the time you discover this you don't care because you just aren't sympathetic towards anyone. You basically end up disliking everyone because the movie won't end soon enough.

People tend to jump on the hate train too quickly that they fail to see that this movie had great potential. If only they had a director that knows what he is doing, plus with the budget they had. This is not a bad movie BUT there were some pretty bad moments that pretty much ruined it. This is not an action film but is centered around the Nick's character. So dont expect guns-blazing-mindless-action. Its really not that bad.

It seems to me that the old stars strives to keep up with the new ones, and nicholas cage, in my opinion downspiraling lately, doesnt deliver in here either. its the story about a jailbird thats full of revenge, that gets his wings back and becomes a free bird , searcing for the crooks that made him go to prison years ago. its also a story about father and son, and the harshness and hardships that caracterizes a relationship that has been absent due to a life in prison. he wants to try by bearing and sharing what he has, but he is hard to feel sympathy for. the acting are plain and simple, so are the story also, told through flashbacks on the main carachter.the filmography are not overwhelmingly made, and the editor are at times on overdrive with fast shifting camera angles etc. what i miss from mr cage is the smile, i think a good comedy like family man could wake up his fans, allthough he is not totally carried away by this flick. the grumpy old man thinks this is a filler for the title collector and no more than that.just a recommend

I use to like Nicolas cage but once you have seen one of his movies you have seen all of his movies. Think It is time for him to hang up the boots in acting and retire
