The Worst Film Ever

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Never mind who is in this. This movie is so bad you'll ask for your money back. And you didn't pay to see it. Nicolas Cage, you can expect weird stuff out of him. But John Cusack, Really. Did you loose a bet. The scenes with blood are so fake I think maybe their grand children made the movie and forced them into being in it. Of course nothing could be complete without a Leave It To Beaver ending. Gee Whiz everything is just hunckey dorey. This movie will be my new punishment for those who loose a bet. Someone needed a write off so they threw their money out on this looser.

I have to write one this that everyone is missing in the reviews.The make up!!! This really isn't a bad movie but don't expect anything more than a new movie with a plot. Very good effort from all the actors and Cage would had done a better job if he played his normal cocaine character in this movie. That and the blood wigs and very noticeable fake facial hair is what destroyed this movie. He was slightly to much in terms of acting and his costume design was ridiculous. That's all that's bad. Cage and make up on the cast. Perhaps say no to ridiculous make up guys when staring in movies. Have some dignity

I came all the way to IMDb to write a review because the film was very, very awful.SPOILER ALERT here! I can sum up just why it was so bad...A normal town has a kids video arcade, and through a door in the rear of the arcade is a grimy strip club where Cage sits, doing cocaine off a table. When he's not sitting there, he seems to always have someone to tie up and murder down a plastic lined hallway between the strip club and the arcade.2 brothers grow up nearby and use the arcade in their youth. The older brother, when in his teens, witnesses Cage murdering some random guy in this plastic lined hallway, and then he spends the entire rest of his life mingling with Cage apparently. The younger brother becomes a successful construction company owner. The whole entire movie is about Cage taking the older brother hostage in his plastic hallway, for a multi hundred thousand dollar ransom that he wants from the younger brother.The only reason I was able to give this a 1 out of 10 is for the notion that the brothers were still brothers, and the younger one of course goes on a manhunt to get his brother back. Despite being kind of a screw up, the older brother then learns to finally appreciate his family after his kidnapping.I didn't even think the cinematography was great. I hated the camera aggressively panning and zooming to make a guy driving his ford truck away from his house all the more dramatic. I found all of the display of blood spraying and blood splatter very unsettling.Someone who loves seeing blood would probably like this movie. That's the only artistic value this movie has.

Rivers of Blood Flowing in the Slowest of Motion Resulting in a High-Def Deluge of Jaw-Dropping, Gonzo, Grind-House Movie-Making.Unrestrained Ultra-Nuttiness from Nicolas Cage, Dressing and Made-Up like a Clown and giving a Freak-a-Zoid On-Screen "Performance" that cannot be Ignored. John Cusack, in one of His Patented Baseball Cap, Vape-Pipe Outings. It's all Whispering and Dreamlike, Detached from the Proceedings afraid to "Dip-a-Toe" for Fear of an Infectious Cesspool.The Two Brothers that the Story Wanders Around are Adrian Grenier and Johnathon Schaech. They Barely Register and are as White-Bread and Generic as Cage and Cusack are Wacky-Packs. The Allure in "Arsenal" is the Carnival Visuals and the Study of Bloody Body Parts, Crunching Bones, and Side-Show Antics.Worth a Watch for its Excesses and Peep-Show Salaciousness. All Involved seem to be Proud of its Pandering.
