The film presents a compelling yet polarizing experience, notably due to its intense narrative and Nicolas Cage’s committed performance. However, the controversial re-editing process it underwent has left audiences and critics divided. Despite these challenges, Cage’s portrayal of a man on a mission, battling both external threats and his deteriorating health, remains a highlight.
