It's kind of beautiful they managed to make a cartel movie so generic they don't even give the characters names.
Directionless and aimless. I can just imagine these actors getting the role and saying, yeah, I could use the money.
Ugh, what a shit show. Not in terms of the technical aspects of the film-making - although they're nothing to write home about - but the narrative drive, or rather lack thereof. This is like a case study in how not to write a screenplay and direct and edit a film. A sprawling, disjointed schlep across South and Central America with a disengaged Cage. It brings absolutely nothing to the table where the cartel is concerned - farmers, runners, kingpins... seen it all before. The only thing that stops it being utterly generic is the head-scratching behaviour of some of the characters, most of all, Leslie Bibb's laughably implausible FBI agent. What kind of fed releases a suspect from formal…

Journey To The Cage
I thought I was going to see some great Cage moments, surrounded by a terrible but fun film. Instead I watched an incoherent, sloppily edited, poorly acted, mess of a film that nudges you in the direction of supporting a corrupt cop that literally tortures an addict for information.
There are huge chunks of time where Cage or Fishburne just disappear from the film, only to reappear twenty minutes later in a scene that doesn't even fit with the scene before it. I'm not even sure a script was made for this film. It feels as if they just started throwing out Cartel movie keywords and filmed scenes individually based on that, praying to…
The amount of times my dad has called this an "excellent movie" in the last 24 hours is very interesting
"where does it stop?"
Lets get Cage-d
Definitely not the prequel to Pig it could've been, but I half-shamefully - eh, probably 3/4-shamefully - enjoyed Running with the Devil.
& Maybe it's because this might be the biggest ensemble of known actors to collaborate on a project where none of their characters have a name? Like literally, we have Nic Cage, Laurence Fishburne, Leslie Bibb, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, Cole Hauser, Clifton Collins Jr, & Peter Facinelli, playing characters we only know as sh!t like "the agent in charge", "the boss", "the snitch", etc. WHICH I like because this movie is about exactly that. It doesn't matter who takes on each role in the drug trade. No matter who dies, who lies...who…
Larry Fish’s introductory scene where he’s jerking off in a peep show booth is simply wonderful. I kinda wish the whole movie was only about his character's sordid life, doing coke and having sex with hookers. Instead, we get a very detailed look into the production and delivery of cocaine. A lot of hard work goes into it! There’s a lot more hiking and skydiving than you would expect. Well, only one person skydives, but still, that was more than I expected. The movie jumps around too much between too many things, so by the time it gets back to a storyline, you’ve almost forgotten that Federal Agent Leslie Bibb has her own personal torture dungeon. But it’s pretty entertaining and easy to watch. Cage is solid, but Fish really steals the show here, especially in the first half.
Go bang your head against a wall for 2 hours for a better use of your time.
Featuring some of most insipid, aimless directing/ editing ever committed to celluloid, this dumpster fire lacks a single redeeming quality, even to avowed Cage completists. Trust me.
Not sure how they managed to round up a cast like that for a bottom barrel VOD flick. Cage I can understand, cocaine is expensive as this movie will show you, but I imagine everyone else must've needed some tax breaks.
It's just a really boring, dreary Breaking Bad/Narcos knock off. It's 100 minutes long and feels 4 hours long. Cage has to behave himself because he's surrounded by real actors so we don't even get to see him trolling. Fishburne is embarrassingly lazy here. Dude has Steven Seagal levels of bad body doubling here at one point.
Has some amusing moments, mostly centring around Fishburne's enjoyment of whoring. Otherwise a waste of time, even for the most ardent Cage fanatic.
It’s Nicholas Cage commanding the screen, again. It’s a very rough film. No character has a name. They are “ The Cook”, “The Executioner” etc. It’s about the cocaine industry from the green plants in Mexico to icy cold of Canada. Each person has a job to do. And then it’s handed off to the next person. And so on and so on. No names. Barely any talking. Just a time schedule and a location. If one part is broken, the entire job is interrupted. Everyone is loyal. Cage is the master! Just watch him and eventually you will say “ Ohhhh, I get it now”!! But a FEDERAL AGENT infiltrates this system! Now this Federal Agent is handled promptly,…
