Konterr Brilliant and touching

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

warren-87235 After watching Tokarev, I had to read a few reviews. What you quickly realise, is that most of the 'hate' comes from viewers discovering this isn't the film they were expecting. It's something very different. I'm not going to say it was brilliant, but this film is well made, with some pretty good actors (albeit not always at their best).This isn't another 'Taken', as many seemed to expect. It plays with your expectations by setting up that kind of story, then turning it into a revenge thriller, which in turn is yet another opportunity to mess with your expectations. What you finally realise, with these morally dubious characters, is that actions have consequences. Violence begets violence. This is a morality play, a tragedy in the Greek tradition (I'm not saying it's of the same quality).This isn't another gangster movie that glorifies the cool lifestyle. Some reviewers also questioned why Danny Glover's character is there. He's the voice of reason. The voice of conscience. Nicolas Cage's character has become a 'good' person, attempting to redeem himself from his bad ways, but when something terrible occurs, this puts him to the test. Can he still be good, without the original reason he had (his daughter)? He doesn't have to return to his old ways, but his core is rotten, despite his attempts, and he cannot resist the fall. Glover's police officer is there, each step of the way, offering him the opportunity to pull back, but he can't.Rachel Nichols is very good, in a role that could have easily been disposable. She's somewhere in between. Someone who feels they could do terrible things in the name of vengeance/justice, but becomes the final victim of the fallout from Cage's violent past.So essentially, perhaps not a great film, but it's different and goes against expectations by using clichés for it's setups but not its ultimate resolution (in this type of story, anyway). As someone else said, it's probably a solid 6, but I'll give it a 7 to offset some of the negativity.

nana asante First off, the bad guys drive a rav 4!! This is my first review ever and this film made me do it. So I was bored and chanced upon this movie and decided to give it a try. I knew it was bad in the first 2 minutes but I was like hey, who knows. I was wrong. It just went and chilled in hell from there. From the cars that kept transforming to the preposterous car chase to the shaky camera work, poor dialogue unnecessary "action". The list goes on. I agree with one reviewer who questioned Danny Glover's role. But I question all the cast. It seems as if they found an old camera after watching taken and said "hey, we can do this sh*t worse" sent a whatsapp group msg and invited some friends to join in making my life more miserable than it already is. I can go on and on but I'll stop there. I mean the bad guys drive a rav 4!

johmil-18374 Not like the movie Taken at all. So its in no way a bad or a good copy of that movie. This movie is in some ways over the top and kind of silly, but also more realistic in its main story than most action (if you remove some of the characters and some of the action). Some of the characters act really bizarre, mostly Danny Glover, that cop character acts like its a cool revenge story ( I don't like what you do but if you wanna kill an army of guys go ahead I understand, a man gotta do what a man gotta do). To me the only message in this flick was the meaningless of violence. It masquerade itself to be a straight forward action movie in the two thirds of it and not really being that is the strength and the weakness of Tokarev.

Dark Jedi I was hoping for some good old classic criminals-messing-with-the-wrong-guy rather violent action movie when I sat down to watch this one. I was indeed expecting it to be a B-movie but being a B-movie does not necessarily make it a bad movie. Well I was right about it being a B-movie and it was indeed rather violent but for the rest it did not turn out to be exactly what I hoped for.Paul and his buddies does indeed start to crack down on the less desirable elements of society. This they do using the well-known strategy of applying a healthy dose of violence and if that does not work then you use more violence. In general the movie starts off fairly well but as we ride along it starts to degenerate into silly outbreaks of rage. I know the movie is called Rage (as well as Tokarev) but I was expecting the rage to be directed towards the bad guys and not just senseless shouting into the air. The further we go the more it degenerates. There is the classical cops-who-intervene-and-let-the-bad-guys-get-away stuff. Very annoying. The stupid screw-up of Danny and Paul's way of handling it was also a bit of a downer.Still, the movie was not all that bad until we reached the end. Well, the end does have a twist to it that has to be said. It also had to be said that I did not like it at all. Even if I could have gotten over the twist itself, the actions of Paul afterwards and the final scenes really sunk the movie for me.Nicolas Cage did not do a bad performance but, as far as I am concerned, he was given a less than stellar script to work with. Technically I would say that this was on the upper half of the scale for B-movies but the story, especially the ending, was not my cup of tea.
