I only rented this movie because I am a fan of Scorceses earlier films. I don't really find Nic Cage to be a good actor, but he is passable in action fare such as Face Off and The Rock. This movie is a weak attempt to try to bring back the atmosphere and story of Travis Bickle. Unfortunately the movie is a long bore, with no story or backstory. Cage is depressed because he cant save anyone. Ok, so quit. Why won't his boss let him quit, he's killing everyone he responds to.
This film was pathetic. Along with Gangs of New York, you can tell Martin Scorcese has a new penchant for box office bombs. Another great auteur has fallen from grace.
Don't waste 2 hours with this flick. Rent Goodfellas instead!
