This movie definitely doesn't deserve the hate it gets in the comments and the rating.
Presented in an oversaturated orange look this is the story of a man who wants to find his peace, the peace he once had that was taken from him. A peace he wants to return to at all costs... And that cost is portrayed in the film through the backstory and the events you'll see.
This is a movie you'll probably have to see multiple times to understand all the symbolism and hidden messages in it.
To me it felt like I was watching the Nic Cage fever dream version of Falling Down.
Don't go into this film expecting some kind of John Wick like they portrayed in the teaser. Don't go into this film as "just another Nic Cage movie"... Go into it, ride the wave, feel the break... and don't drown or hit the rocks while you try to stay afloat.
There's a lot in this movie (I think). You just need to see it... Also stick to the end of the credits for some extra info (not a post credit scene though).
