211 (feat. Nicolas Cage)

In 2018's 211, Cage plays a bad cop in Massachusetts, named Mike. His name doesn't really matter. None of the characters need to be identified beyond their typical roles. The title of the film refers to a police procedure in response to a robbery. So, Cage, a bad cop, gets to be a hero in a big deal bank robbery done by some military ass holes. Cage's ass hole looking son plays one of them, wearing an ass hole-looking haircut.

Like a direct-to-video tape, 211 plays out like some kind of propaganda movie, pretending it's real, and just as good as any other kind of violent cop movie. During the robbery and romp of very well executed gunshots, I kept expecting someone to pray and make God save the day, depleting all relevance from the rest of the story. The idea behind 211 isn't so terrible, but that's no excuse to do everything badly. If it weren't for my promise to hate The Croods, I might rank 211 at the bottom of my list.
