A Score to Settle (feat. Nicolas Cage)

In this turd from 2019, Cage plays a young mob enforcer who takes, for a hefty fee, takes the fall for a murder commited by his boss. 19 years later, Cage's character (Frank Carver) is released from jail, but he's dying of some disease. Frank's son, all grown-up and financially supported by the mob, picks him up and they make up for lost time. Sound Familiar?

Frank and son get along okay, but eventually the son gets his shot at a pitifully contrived monologue about how his Frank's a hypocrite and not much of a father. Fair enough, seeing how after spending a lot of money on his suits, hotels, whores, and hotels, Frank's main objective is to get revenge on his old boss. The money wasn't enough. After all, he missed seeing his son grow-up, and now he's dying. The stakes are low.

All the while Cage is getting into violent trouble and suffering with us thorugh some blurry, low framerate spells of his sickness, which he is going to die from. I can't spoil the story, but some people have a wooden happy ending and others don't. Cage gets to have a freak-out, which he might as well, since he was presumably intended to carry this entire Saturn Film. Every other actor in this film blows their one and only shot to be in a real movie.
