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
