Rage (2014)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Depressingly dull and all-around poorly made, Rage is the rare Nicolas Cage action thriller lacking enough energy to reach "so bad it's good" territory.

All Critics (37) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (32)
Piles on the foreign accents and paint-by-numbers brutality, all served up with a grim, operatic self-seriousness that gives Cage's antihero little room to maneuver.
Cage may not always be easy on the eyes, but at his best, you can't turn away from him, because you never really know what he'll do next. But here, the actor plays it drab and dour.
There isn't an original frame or line of dialogue in Rage.
It's hard to say this is the worst film Nicolas Cage has ever made - there are just too many contenders to choose from. But it's near the bottom.
Rage is so full of cliché, convention and just plain odd narrative choices that it can't get out of its own way.
The latest in a parade of cheesy, derivative action-thrillers that erstwhile A-list actor Nicolas Cage has recently starred in, presumably as a quick cash grab.
Audience Reviews for Rage
Borrowing the scenario from the popular Taken franchise, Cage plays a dad who's sole child, his daughter, is kidnapped (so let the revenge aimed ass-whupping begin!) except that every possible suspect in this proves merely to be a red herring provided by the filmmakers to merely provoke an cheap audience response (a written version of the audio jump scare), which detracts from this effort that never connects in the first place. Isn't there something else playing on cable? It's worth looking for it rather than enduring this empty thriller.
Super Reviewer
Not exactly an original revenge picture or a great one. While it gives off the impression as a Taken rip-off meets Man on Fire but this film does not have any of the quality's that those films had. Even though Nicholas Cage is starting to get his groove back, but sadly this film does not showcase anything special.
