Score 4/6

When the daughter of a reformed criminal is kidnapped, he rounds up his old crew and seeks his own brand of justice.

For those of you out there who might go looking for this at your friendly local DVD store and can’t find this movie under the name Tokarev then I suggest you look for it under the name of Rage.
I’m very unfamiliar with Paco Cabezas’ work, this is fourth feature and he has done something very significant with Tokarev, being that is probably the first film that I have watched starring Nicolas Cage, with cage cast in a leading role in about nine years that has not left at least a small part of me wondering whether or not I have wasted my time and money.
Now granted there might be a lot of you out there who would dismiss this just little revenge movie and you’d be right. Yet there is nothing more violent than a parent’s revenge and the filmmakers had the foresight to make this something more than your average Friday night big loud action movie.
